@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
(Another shade, another shadow)
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
I'm saved by nature
But it always forgets what I need
I hope you'll stop me before I build a wall around me
We need a forest fire
You're thicker than you think
You know that money bought your name
Caution, swelling, can I repay you with some blame?
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
Stop
Stop before I build a wall around me
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
I'm saved by nature
But it always forgets what I need
I hope you'll stop me before I build a wall around me
We need a forest fire
You're thicker than you think
You know that money bought your name
Caution, swelling, can I repay you with some blame?
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
Stop
Stop before I build a wall around me

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The perfect song for an ex I no longer talk to.
