@[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.
Standing at the edge of this cliff
Gravity being what it is
I'm afraid that I might stumble
Cause I've never been this high
I'm so carried away by this place
And the simple beauty of your place
When the walls start to crumble
And I'm helpless to fight
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no ones ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby its unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall
I can't worry my heart with what if
Maybe I should just give in
And wrap myself around you
And let you take me down
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no ones ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby its unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall
Gravity being what it is
I'm afraid that I might stumble
Cause I've never been this high
I'm so carried away by this place
And the simple beauty of your place
When the walls start to crumble
And I'm helpless to fight
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no ones ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby its unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall
I can't worry my heart with what if
Maybe I should just give in
And wrap myself around you
And let you take me down
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no ones ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby its unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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 really hits home. i was engaged with the love of my life and he broke up with me towards the end because he was getting afraid he was not good enough for me and he didn't want to hurt me or drag me down with him, and now he wants me to just forget he ever existed. he's still single and miserable and i'm here still missing and loving him with every beat of my heart.
