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”
If we should meet again on some darkened street
Pack in it all and heed to the call
Beat a drum to decide on a sketch or design
Can you see to the light of bare winter night?
And wipe out the sun from your eyes
That vicious sky
Wipe out the sun from your eyes
'cause some sleep to lie
See the way you are, feel the way you move
So sweet, so deep
The sum of it all
So deep, so sweet
I see you again
I see you again
Once you feel something real
Let me know, let it show
I could be your honey
And let it go, there you go
And if you should need me through someone else's eyes
And if into me you see more than disguise
I come down to your knees
And if ears could speak
I'd like to think what they'd say to inspire
Your sweetest desire
Since I first met you I found the love I lost
It's just like you, looks just like you
You move so sweet, so deep
The sum of it all
So sweet, so deep
I see you again
I see you again
If we should meet again in some darkened room
I hope to my soul it could be soon
Beat a path to my side, a sketch for design
Can you see through the light to bare winter night?
And wipe out the sun from your eyes
That vicious sky
Wipe out the sun from your eyes
'cause some sleep to lie
See the way you are, feel the way you move
So deep, so cool
You burn through it all
It's the shape of your hand
A tone I understand
And since I first met you I found the love I lost
Looks just like you, looks just like you
Pack in it all and heed to the call
Beat a drum to decide on a sketch or design
Can you see to the light of bare winter night?
And wipe out the sun from your eyes
That vicious sky
Wipe out the sun from your eyes
'cause some sleep to lie
See the way you are, feel the way you move
So sweet, so deep
The sum of it all
So deep, so sweet
I see you again
I see you again
Once you feel something real
Let me know, let it show
I could be your honey
And let it go, there you go
And if you should need me through someone else's eyes
And if into me you see more than disguise
I come down to your knees
And if ears could speak
I'd like to think what they'd say to inspire
Your sweetest desire
Since I first met you I found the love I lost
It's just like you, looks just like you
You move so sweet, so deep
The sum of it all
So sweet, so deep
I see you again
I see you again
If we should meet again in some darkened room
I hope to my soul it could be soon
Beat a path to my side, a sketch for design
Can you see through the light to bare winter night?
And wipe out the sun from your eyes
That vicious sky
Wipe out the sun from your eyes
'cause some sleep to lie
See the way you are, feel the way you move
So deep, so cool
You burn through it all
It's the shape of your hand
A tone I understand
And since I first met you I found the love I lost
Looks just like you, looks just 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 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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
I love how sensual this song is. I think it's about a girl who really fell for this guy, but it just didn't work out quite right, or maybe he wasn't that into her. She's just hoping maybe they'll meet again and it'll be different. Seems pretty self-explanatory.
