@[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.
Did somebody tell you what I couldn't tell you
I hope they did
I hope they didn't
Well I oughta regret it
Or should I forget it
Whatever this is
It feels electric
You shot me a sweet look
Gave me your yearbook
Told me to sign it
It was a signal
But I couldn't find the words
I just couldn't find the nerve
As usual
Here's my bright idea
I'll just disappear
I'll just fly away from here
(Hey!)
And now you're in Hollywood
Right in my neighborhood
Things are really looking up for you
An army of managers
And lots of pretty boys lining up
To read for you
Oh, I'm pretty sure that it was you
That I bumped into just the other day
At the record store
But I still don't have a clue
I just couldn't talk to you
As usual
Here's my bright idea
Mmmm
I'll just disappear
Woah
Here's my bright idea
Bamb bamb bamb bamb
I'll just disappear
I'll just fly away from here
So I come to your event
In my well rehearsed mystique
I show up an hour late
But I've been ready for a week
And you float into the hallway
like some neon silohuette
I'm slowly losing oxygen
and my hands are soaking wet
all the cameras and reporters
piling up on one another
just to get a look at you
they all want an interview
Then I make my move
push them out of my way
but I still just don't know what to say
Here's my bright idea
Mmmmm
I'll just disappear
Woah
Here's my bright idea
Bamb bamb bamb bamb
I'll just disappear
I'll just fly away from here
Here's my bright idea
Here's my bright idea
Here's my bright
Here's my bright
Here's my bright idea
Woah
I hope they did
I hope they didn't

I love it but I still think No Tomorrow is better.
