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”
Jen, she really rocks my world, I think she is the perfect girl,
But she never seems to notice me she doesn't care about my positivity,
I try to take her by the hand, reminded her that I too am in a band,
But she doesn't seem to understand, or care about the things I've planned,
At times it seems that I've been cursed,
My love life couldn't get much worse,
But I'll keep hoping anyway,
I love Jen but Jen loves Saves the Day,
I fell asleep with the radio on, it was playing Queen,
Freddy must have spoken to me, I had the STRANGEST dream,
We turned our backs on all we knew and loved, and left the core behind,
For greener grass and thrift-store clothes and finally Jen was mine,
Won't compromise what I believe, 'cause I can see,
Won't change my life to make a friend, 'cause that's not me,
I won't be bitter, I won't be mad, that's not how I am,
I've got to live my life for me, I understand,
I can be posi alone.

@[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.
