This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I stole your haircut
And your boring personality
The perfect pallette for a painting
Of morality
And now I come across without a loss
Of what to be
Add up the two of us and then
Subtract the one of me
Come meet your maker
A different kind of strain
I turn you into one
And then I turn you out for fun
Of earth and days and age
In fact you never were that dumb
Descended from a line
Of endless opportunities
I feel the mountain where you bring it from
Is gonna please
Come meet your maker
A different kind of strain
A sweet super-tanker
Oh won't it be great yeah, yeah
We can all do whatever we want
Whatever we want
Whatever we want
We can all do whatever we want
Whatever we want
Whatever we want
We can all do...what... ever we want to
We can all do...what... ever we want to
I'm dreamin' up the thing that no one
Ever knew was love
I get you higher than the hawks
Of Hollywood above
It's up for grab
The ragged stream of possibilities
To walk away from this could leave me
Feeling ill at ease
Come meet your maker
A different kind of strain
A sweet super-tanker
Oh won't it be great yeah, yeah
We can all do whatever we want
Whatever we want
Whatever we want
We can all do whatever we want
Whatever we want
Whatever we want
We can all do...what... ever we want to
We can all do...what... ever we want to
Come meet your maker
A different kind of strain
A sweet super-tanker
Oh won't it be great yeah, yeah
We can all do whatever we want
Whatever we want
Whatever we want
We can all do whatever we want
Whatever we want
Whatever we want
We can all do...what... ever we want to
We can all do...what... ever we want to
And your boring personality
The perfect pallette for a painting
Of morality
And now I come across without a loss
Of what to be
Add up the two of us and then
Subtract the one of me
Come meet your maker
A different kind of strain
I turn you into one
And then I turn you out for fun
Of earth and days and age
In fact you never were that dumb
Descended from a line

@[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,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song reminds me of C'mon Girl, I love it though.
