Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
It's a long lonely road
Where do I go
Looking for someplace that feels like home
Been searchin' so long
Where did I go wrong
Maybe the answer's somewhere beyond
The stars in the sky
And who knows why
[Hook:]
We all fall down
Life's taking it's toll
It's all out of control
Yeah we all fall down
It's my dignity that's saving me tonight
As I walk through this maze
Is this just a phase
Will all my tomorrows be this way
The night is so black
In front and in back
Sometimes it's so dark and you don't know where you're at
Like a star way up high
Droppin' out of the sky
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
Lift me up
So I can see
Outside of me
And what could be
A different life
[Hook-fade]
Where do I go
Looking for someplace that feels like home
Been searchin' so long
Where did I go wrong
Maybe the answer's somewhere beyond
The stars in the sky
And who knows why
[Hook:]
We all fall down
Life's taking it's toll
It's all out of control
Yeah we all fall down
It's my dignity that's saving me tonight
As I walk through this maze
Is this just a phase
Will all my tomorrows be this way
The night is so black
In front and in back
Sometimes it's so dark and you don't know where you're at
Like a star way up high
Droppin' out of the sky
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
Lift me up
So I can see
Outside of me
And what could be
A different life
[Hook-fade]

@[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.
