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”
Someday, maybe one day
I will understand what I did to send your love away
Someday, maybe one day
I'll see through your eyes what made you cry and run away
Cause I, I feel a changing of the seasons
Wonder why, should not givin' me a reason
Are we one or two far gone to say three words, "I love you"
Before you take that five o'clock plane, that's leaving
I'm so tired of tryin' to count eight, nine, ten ways I'll be dyin'
If you should take that five o'clock plane, hey, hey
Someday, baby one day
As we reminisce we'll laugh at all this hearsay
Someday, maybe one day
You'll apologize when you've realized
I never lied to you anyway
Will I, just be a footnote on forever?
Testify before you bury all our treasure
Are we one or two far gone to say three words, "I love you"
Before you take that five o'clock plane, that's leaving
I'm so tired of tryin' to count eight, nine, ten ways I'll be dyin'
If you should take that five o'clock plane, hey, hey
Before you take that five o'clock plane
All those nights we held each other
Body, mind and soul
I can't believe you'd ever let that go
Are we one or two far gone to say three words, "I love you"
Before you take that five o'clock plane, that's leaving
I'm so tired, tired of tryin' to count eight, nine, ten ways I'll be dyin'
If you should take that five o'clock plane, hey, hey
If you should take that five o'clock plane
Are we one or two far gone
If you should take that plane
Before you take that five o'clock plane, hey, hey
I will understand what I did to send your love away
Someday, maybe one day
I'll see through your eyes what made you cry and run away
Cause I, I feel a changing of the seasons
Wonder why, should not givin' me a reason
Are we one or two far gone to say three words, "I love you"
Before you take that five o'clock plane, that's leaving
I'm so tired of tryin' to count eight, nine, ten ways I'll be dyin'
If you should take that five o'clock plane, hey, hey
Someday, baby one day
As we reminisce we'll laugh at all this hearsay
Someday, maybe one day
You'll apologize when you've realized
I never lied to you anyway
Will I, just be a footnote on forever?
Testify before you bury all our treasure
Are we one or two far gone to say three words, "I love you"
Before you take that five o'clock plane, that's leaving

If you should take that plane
Before you take that five o'clock plane, hey, hey

@[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.
