@[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.
In my dreams
I see myself hitting a baseball
In a a green field somewhere near a freeway
I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base
And it's hot and
The kids keep playing the driving game
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain
And the sky is a blueish grey.
And its become just like a chemical strice
Tracing the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I've barely been gone.
In my dreams
I see you at the foot of some mountains.
And we're taking some pictures or something
And we'd better hurry up
And it's late and
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans
And we'd better hurry up
And I've become just like a terrible mess
Searching the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
The crowds keep me coming back.
Cheering.
In my dreams
I see you asleep on a twin bed
The covers pulled up over your head
And I asleep or awake?
And it's morning
And the captain is playing the radio
And he's just put the paint on his new boat
Am I asleep or awake?
And it just feels good when you're waking up
And it just feels good when you're next to me
And it just feels good when you're coming home
And it just feels good when you're waking up
And I've become just like a chemical strice
Tracing the lines of my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I've barely been gone and I'm not a failure
I swear
I wish you could see it from over there
I've got a lot over here without you
I've barely been gone gone dreaming
I see myself hitting a baseball
In a a green field somewhere near a freeway
I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base
And it's hot and
The kids keep playing the driving game
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain
And the sky is a blueish grey.
And its become just like a chemical strice
Tracing the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I've barely been gone.
In my dreams
I see you at the foot of some mountains.
And we're taking some pictures or something
And we'd better hurry up
And it's late and
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans
And we'd better hurry up
And I've become just like a terrible mess
Searching the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
The crowds keep me coming back.
Cheering.
