@[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.
If I seem nervous will you show me what to do?
And does the world deserve us?
Application rushing through
A long time coming
Yes, it's been a long time coming
My loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
We close our eyes and chase away the sorry things
You make it easy for me, life is but a dream
Cried on your shoulder
Dove into the great blue yonder
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, no catch 22
And all my worldly goods I give to you
No misdemeanour
There's a ring upon my finger
My loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart, no catch 22
And all my worldly goods I give to you
And does the world deserve us?
Application rushing through
A long time coming
Yes, it's been a long time coming
My loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
We close our eyes and chase away the sorry things
You make it easy for me, life is but a dream
Cried on your shoulder
Dove into the great blue yonder
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, no catch 22
And all my worldly goods I give to you
No misdemeanour
There's a ring upon my finger
My loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart, no catch 22
And all my worldly goods I give to you

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.
1st of all: I assume Andy wrote this one for sounding quite ironic about romantic affairs that should find their 'happy end' in the altar, specially because of its title.
Well, a boy and a girl have lived a romance full of ups and downs, since he wasn't exactly well-meaning about the future of their relationship (he was in a dilemma about his real intentions upon her) and he wasn't exactly faithful to her (his misdemeanours). But he has finally discovered how much he loves her and now he's prepared to take this relationship to the last consequences: the marriage ("No misdemeanour / There's a ring upon my finger"), despite he's not so sure about this yet ("If I seem nervous will you show me what to do? / And does the world deserve us?") while he has realized this decision is really taking shape ("Application rushing through").
Regarding his 'worldly goods', this makes me think that maybe she's quite opportunist and maybe that's the main reason why she has been so understanding about him ("We close our eyes and chase away the sorry things / You make it easy for me, life is but a dream").
In addition, I think he's giving his 'worldly goods' in such a graceful way to compensate her for all his previous mishaviour...
Correction: "In addition, I think he's giving his 'worldly goods' to her in such a graceful way to compensate her for all his previous misbehaviour.".
And she probably talked to herself: "Oh, your bastard, I really deserve to get all your 'wordly goods' to forgive you for all your faults!"
