@[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.
Stuck in this room motivations sunk deep
Outsides a called place
Yesterday's thoughts to keep
This world seems like miles away
So follow the joke of heresay
A moment in caution still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Living someone else's dream
Stuck in this room I'm forced to fall asleep
I wish I could leave
And you're never what you seemed
This world seems like away
So pretend and follow and everything's ok
Still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Left only to perceive
That the world is wasting away
So pretend it's only one day
And to think you'll end up nowhere
It wouldn't be fair
And within your ride
No one ever drove no one ever cared
Outsides a called place
Yesterday's thoughts to keep
This world seems like miles away
So follow the joke of heresay
A moment in caution still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Living someone else's dream
Stuck in this room I'm forced to fall asleep
I wish I could leave
And you're never what you seemed
This world seems like away
So pretend and follow and everything's ok
Still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Left only to perceive
That the world is wasting away
So pretend it's only one day
And to think you'll end up nowhere
It wouldn't be fair
And within your ride
No one ever drove no one ever cared

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
wow..obviously not too many ppl have been listening to near miss. someone in my english class told me about them b/c they came to our town for a show..Lake havasu city..and he told me to DL this song and i just luved it.
totally, this band (if you didn't know) has two members from a band called "Bigwig" which was an okay band. But then Singer (Jeremy) and Drummer (Max) made Near Miss. This band is ten million times better than Bigwig. So where is all the publicity.
these guys are an awesome band. tight drums, tight guitars, tight bass. just a rad band overall. i saw them about a month ago at this hole in the wall place in la cinada or something. i got to meet them and we talked for a while these guys are great. i hope to seing them sometime soon.
