@[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.
He leaves home just like every morning
The same goodbye to his son
Kiss on the cheek to the woman he loves
Than it’s off to work for another day
Traffic jam outside the city
Leaves him anxious once again
He parks his car and rushes up the stairs
Puts his briefcase down and sits in his chair
Overlooking the town he calls home
And everyone is unaware
Glimmer from the frame of the picture on his desk
Of the family he loves
Uneasiness fills his chest,
So he calls his wife just to tell her this...
Don’t wait up for me tonight,
Cause I won't be coming home
And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know
I had to call you one last time
Just to rest your mind
Don’t wait up for me tonight
Cause I won't be coming home
And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know...
Lights go out,
People shout,
People crying,
Me I'm trying,
Mothers cry,
Fathers die ,
And me I'm still holding on,
To you...
To you
Lights go out
People shout
People are crying
Me I'm trying
Mothers cry
Father die
And me I'm still holding on
To you
A few more words
And I'm going to go
I can see the end from here
I love you
I just wanted to say
Those three words to you today
The same goodbye to his son
Kiss on the cheek to the woman he loves
Than it’s off to work for another day
Traffic jam outside the city
Leaves him anxious once again
He parks his car and rushes up the stairs
Puts his briefcase down and sits in his chair
Overlooking the town he calls home
And everyone is unaware
Glimmer from the frame of the picture on his desk
Of the family he loves
Uneasiness fills his chest,
So he calls his wife just to tell her this...
Don’t wait up for me tonight,
Cause I won't be coming home
And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know
I had to call you one last time
Just to rest your mind
Don’t wait up for me tonight
Cause I won't be coming home
And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know...
Lights go out,
People shout,
People crying,
Me I'm trying,
Mothers cry,
Fathers die ,
And me I'm still holding on,
To you...
To you
Lights go out
People shout
People are crying
Me I'm trying
Mothers cry
Father die
And me I'm still holding on
To you
A few more words
And I'm going to go
I can see the end from here
I love you
I just wanted to say
Those three words to you today
