Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
When the night shapes secret dreams
That I cannot change
When the moon weaves tender silk to veil the day
Then I know you'll make the magic feel so alive
When the stars send gentle words I wish I could say
Then I hear your heart a thousand miles away
You are always in my dreams, my reason to live
You are always in all my dreams, my reason to give
You are my pearl in a world of dirt
I will be yours forever
You are my flame, my heat, my spark
Like a fire in a world so dark
You are my pearl in a world of dirt
This love cannot be measured
You're my escape from a world of hurt
My delight in a world absurd
You're my pearl in a world of dirt
When your heart began to sleep I wished I could pray
When your soul went up to start her final way
I woke up to find my world no longer alive
When the stars speak gentle words I wish I could say
Look into my eyes a million miles away
‘Cause I'm still here in your dreams, your reason to try
And I know here in my dreams our love will survive
You are my pearl in a world of dirt…
You're my pearl in a world of dirt
That I cannot change
When the moon weaves tender silk to veil the day
Then I know you'll make the magic feel so alive
When the stars send gentle words I wish I could say
Then I hear your heart a thousand miles away
You are always in my dreams, my reason to live
You are always in all my dreams, my reason to give
You are my pearl in a world of dirt
I will be yours forever
You are my flame, my heat, my spark
Like a fire in a world so dark
You are my pearl in a world of dirt
This love cannot be measured
You're my escape from a world of hurt
My delight in a world absurd
You're my pearl in a world of dirt
When your heart began to sleep I wished I could pray
When your soul went up to start her final way
I woke up to find my world no longer alive
When the stars speak gentle words I wish I could say
Look into my eyes a million miles away
‘Cause I'm still here in your dreams, your reason to try
And I know here in my dreams our love will survive
You are my pearl in a world of dirt…
You're my pearl in a world of dirt

@[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.

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.
