@[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 wish I knew, what I could do
To make you stay, but I don't know
What I could say
In my mind, I can erase state lines
In my head, I can extend my bed
to 23rd, and Lexington
In my mind, I can erase state lines
We've been spoiled, but not equivalent to food
More like too much, of a good thing
Always goes bad
Always goes bad
The 24th, of a dying month
Kills a season, but it won't kill us
Hope these words, bring tears to your eyes
Because they bring, tears to mine
In my eyes, you're still the best prize
In my heart, it would take more than this city
To tear us apart, To tear us apart
In my mind, I can erase state lines
We've been spoiled, but not equivalent to food
More like too much, of a good thing
Always goes bad
Always goes bad
Hope these words bring tears to your eyes
Because these words bring tears to mine
It's me and you against the world
The story of a boy and a girl
You've seen me when I'm at my worst
And I'm sorry that's been most of the time
But I need you more than I need this air
I'll only breathe if you let me
I need you more than I need these words
I'd stop on a dime, if only to hear you say
That you love me.
To make you stay, but I don't know
What I could say
In my mind, I can erase state lines
In my head, I can extend my bed
to 23rd, and Lexington
In my mind, I can erase state lines
We've been spoiled, but not equivalent to food
More like too much, of a good thing
Always goes bad
Always goes bad
The 24th, of a dying month
Kills a season, but it won't kill us
Hope these words, bring tears to your eyes
Because they bring, tears to mine
In my eyes, you're still the best prize
In my heart, it would take more than this city
To tear us apart, To tear us apart
In my mind, I can erase state lines
We've been spoiled, but not equivalent to food
More like too much, of a good thing
Always goes bad
Always goes bad
Hope these words bring tears to your eyes
Because these words bring tears to mine
It's me and you against the world
The story of a boy and a girl
You've seen me when I'm at my worst
And I'm sorry that's been most of the time
But I need you more than I need this air
I'll only breathe if you let me
I need you more than I need these words
I'd stop on a dime, if only to hear you say
That you love me.

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
I remember when they let this album stream online...I recorded it on my four track and listened to it all and knew all the lyrics by the time I got to see them and get the CD.
I love this album.
