The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Il tempo passa senza che lo passo mai insieme a te,
Ma ti pensavo sempre nei sogni tu con me,
Per me il mondo finira se non ci fossi tu ovunque vai voglio che sai
If you need a friend or lover or a place that you can hide,
I will always be there even though my hands are tied,
I know deep down inside if you consider what we share,
Maybe you'll see you're all that I need,
E' una vita che cercando a te e non importa che io sento per te,
Soltano una notte ancor' chaimami amor'
All of my life I've been searching for someone like you
There's never been a better time, there's never been a better place,
For you and I together here alone and face to face,
Oh I'd do anything if you'd just let me in your life,
Whatever it takes i wont make the same mistake again,
E' una vita che cercando a te e non importa che io sento per te,
Soltano una notte ancor' chaimami amor'
All of my life, I've been searchin for someone like you
Could it be the brightest star so close yet still so far away,
Don't you know I've fallen for you baby, I'm calling for you,
Right here right now,
E' una vita che cercando a te e non importa che io sento per te,
Soltano una notte ancor' chaimami amor'
All of my life, I've been searchin for someone like you
Ma ti pensavo sempre nei sogni tu con me,
Per me il mondo finira se non ci fossi tu ovunque vai voglio che sai
If you need a friend or lover or a place that you can hide,
I will always be there even though my hands are tied,
I know deep down inside if you consider what we share,
Maybe you'll see you're all that I need,
E' una vita che cercando a te e non importa che io sento per te,
Soltano una notte ancor' chaimami amor'
All of my life I've been searching for someone like you
There's never been a better time, there's never been a better place,
For you and I together here alone and face to face,
Oh I'd do anything if you'd just let me in your life,
Whatever it takes i wont make the same mistake again,
E' una vita che cercando a te e non importa che io sento per te,
Soltano una notte ancor' chaimami amor'
All of my life, I've been searchin for someone like you
Could it be the brightest star so close yet still so far away,
Don't you know I've fallen for you baby, I'm calling for you,
Right here right now,
E' una vita che cercando a te e non importa che io sento per te,
Soltano una notte ancor' chaimami amor'
All of my life, I've been searchin for someone like you

@[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.

This is one of my favorite songs! To me, it means that you've finally found the one person that you want to be with. And you'd do anything for them. I cried the first time I head it, when I was alone. It reminds me of my relationship with a friend who lives far away. I'll always be here.
