@[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.
She's got a telephone voice
That I haven't heard in quite a while
But I've seen her with boys
That I didn't think would be her style
Always around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
I'm just someone that she used to know
The screeching of brakes
Of a taxi in the midnight rain
Is all that it takes
To bring it back to her again
See her around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
Just someone that she used to know
Someone that she used to know
See her around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
Like someone that she used to know
See her around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
Just someone that she used to know
That I haven't heard in quite a while
But I've seen her with boys
That I didn't think would be her style
Always around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
I'm just someone that she used to know
The screeching of brakes
Of a taxi in the midnight rain
Is all that it takes
To bring it back to her again
See her around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
Just someone that she used to know
Someone that she used to know
See her around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
Like someone that she used to know
See her around out on the town
She can barely say "hello"
Waving at her watching me drown
Just someone that she used to know
