@[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.
Sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
Ghosts on the corner
I used to think that's all we'd ever be
Come home to California
Hey, wild heart, I'd give up everything
To see the world in blinding color
I keep going back there
To the crowded street where
I could see you walking in my sleep
I'll never stop trying
You're my silver lining
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
This is me in a bedroom
Broken window, sunlight coming through
This is you, shotgun on a highway
When you feel that same sun coming into view
And you see the world in blinding color
I keep going back there
To the crowded street where
I could see you walking in my sleep
I'll never stop trying
You're my silver lining
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
Come on, wake me up
Come on, wake me up
Feels like I've been walking, walking in my sleep
Come on, wake me up
Come on, wake me up
Feels like I've been walking, walking in my sleep
Walking in my sleep
Come on, wake me up
Come on, wake me up
Feels like I've been
Feels like I've been walking in my sleep
I keep going back there
To the crowded street where
I could see you walking in my sleep
I'll never stop trying
You're my silver lining
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
Ghosts on the corner
I used to think that's all we'd ever be
Come home to California
Hey, wild heart, I'd give up everything
To see the world in blinding color
I keep going back there
To the crowded street where
I could see you walking in my sleep
I'll never stop trying
You're my silver lining
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
This is me in a bedroom
Broken window, sunlight coming through
This is you, shotgun on a highway
When you feel that same sun coming into view
And you see the world in blinding color
I keep going back there
To the crowded street where
I could see you walking in my sleep
I'll never stop trying
You're my silver lining
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
Come on, wake me up
Come on, wake me up
Feels like I've been walking, walking in my sleep
Come on, wake me up
Come on, wake me up
Feels like I've been walking, walking in my sleep
Walking in my sleep
Come on, wake me up
Come on, wake me up
Feels like I've been
Feels like I've been walking in my sleep
I keep going back there
To the crowded street where
I could see you walking in my sleep
I'll never stop trying
You're my silver lining
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
In my sleep, sleep
Even when I'm walking in my sleep

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
