This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Outside a starlit night inside a raging storm
Words of anger fly like many times before
We'll fight the battle baby
nobody wins the war
I'll say I don't need you, you'll say you don't want me
We'll sharpen up our lies, really cut each other deep
Why do we do it, baby
What are we fighting for
There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin'
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for
Why don't you say you're sorry,
Why can't I say I'm wrong
How much more damage can we do
until we come undone
Why do we do it baby
Where are we fighting for
There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for
Girl, aren't we still in love
That's what we're fighting for
Words of anger fly like many times before
We'll fight the battle baby
nobody wins the war
I'll say I don't need you, you'll say you don't want me
We'll sharpen up our lies, really cut each other deep
Why do we do it, baby
What are we fighting for
There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin'
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for
Why don't you say you're sorry,
Why can't I say I'm wrong
How much more damage can we do
until we come undone
Why do we do it baby
Where are we fighting for
There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for
Girl, aren't we still in love
That's what we're fighting for

@[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.

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
