@[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.
All I gotta do is think of you
All I gotta do is think of you
I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind to take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheat field, I'd run through, that I'd run through
And I miss you so, and I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so alone
Oh I miss you so
I'd send you a flower, a sunflower bright
'Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sun shower kisses, I felt we had
And I miss you so, oh baby I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low, oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so, oh darling I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low, low, oh I said, "I miss you so"
All I gotta do is think of you, oh and I miss you so
Baby I'm, I'm afraid to say why, oh that I miss you so
Baby I'm, I'm afraid to say why, oh I miss you so
All I gotta do is think of you
I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind to take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheat field, I'd run through, that I'd run through
And I miss you so, and I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so alone
Oh I miss you so
I'd send you a flower, a sunflower bright
'Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sun shower kisses, I felt we had
And I miss you so, oh baby I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low, oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so, oh darling I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so low, low, oh I said, "I miss you so"
All I gotta do is think of you, oh and I miss you so
Baby I'm, I'm afraid to say why, oh that I miss you so
Baby I'm, I'm afraid to say why, oh I miss you so

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
"And how I long for the sharp wind to take my breath away again" Genius line, reminds of being young, full of ideals and promise, the feeling of sheer excitment not knowing what we'd become...
