@[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.
Without you standing by my side
Love and good fortune passes me by
And you were my guiding light
It seemed so easy
When we said goodbye
How different would the world be now
If only we had worked it out somehow
What kind of fools are you and I
There would be stars up in the sky
If you were with me now
And I know I may go astray
But who's to say that we can't change our mind
My love burns stronger each day
If I'm sure of one thing
One love at a time
How could we throw our love away
When we had so much more than words can say
The darkest clouds would fade away
To bring the light into my day
If you were with me now
If loving you is right
Then turn back the hands of time
I'd do anything to make you mine
There'snothing that I wouldn't do
I could make you feel my love for you
If you were with me now
If you were with me now
If you were with me now
Love and good fortune passes me by
And you were my guiding light
It seemed so easy
When we said goodbye
How different would the world be now
If only we had worked it out somehow
What kind of fools are you and I
There would be stars up in the sky
If you were with me now
And I know I may go astray
But who's to say that we can't change our mind
My love burns stronger each day
If I'm sure of one thing
One love at a time
How could we throw our love away
When we had so much more than words can say
The darkest clouds would fade away
To bring the light into my day
If you were with me now
If loving you is right
Then turn back the hands of time
I'd do anything to make you mine
There'snothing that I wouldn't do
I could make you feel my love for you
If you were with me now
If you were with me now
If you were with me now

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,
