This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Sister beams with girlish pride and a smile worn ear to ear
A lifetime's dream, a wedding scene, her precious day draws near
An empty home and a life alone, that's all she's ever feared
Yesterday her fiance, he made his plans real clear
He said, "golden-haired, your sister's fair and she's been so good to me
But a lifetime bound and tied down, that's one I just can't see."
Then he said he must have lost his head when it struck him to agree
He said, "you're a man and you should understand a man has certain needs."
Now every day is just the same
And the hours move by so slow
Every day is like the day before, like every day but I know
It won't be like the one I leave behind me when I go
Sister, she don't talk too loud now that things are through
She's waiting on some old advice but it'll never come true
And she asks me if I'll stay with her but I've got some things to do
You see, now he's dead, he must have lost his head when I struck him
With what to do
Now every day is just the same
And the hours move by so slow
Every day is like the day before, like every day but I know
It won't be like the one I leave behind me when I go
A lifetime's dream, a wedding scene, her precious day draws near
An empty home and a life alone, that's all she's ever feared
Yesterday her fiance, he made his plans real clear
He said, "golden-haired, your sister's fair and she's been so good to me
But a lifetime bound and tied down, that's one I just can't see."
Then he said he must have lost his head when it struck him to agree
He said, "you're a man and you should understand a man has certain needs."
Now every day is just the same
And the hours move by so slow
Every day is like the day before, like every day but I know
It won't be like the one I leave behind me when I go
Sister, she don't talk too loud now that things are through
She's waiting on some old advice but it'll never come true
And she asks me if I'll stay with her but I've got some things to do
You see, now he's dead, he must have lost his head when I struck him
With what to do
Now every day is just the same
And the hours move by so slow
Every day is like the day before, like every day but I know
It won't be like the one I leave behind me when I go

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”

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,
i know! i love this song... but i'm not sure if i understand it... i think it's about this girl..who's madly in love... and finally happy... and it all comes crashing down because her fiance has something going on with her sister...? i'm not sure. but it sure is beautiful.
