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”
I was wrong
For the first time in a century
And no one believed me
But it hurt like a bitch
You said ‘Bye’
In a way that almost fit me
And how you’re leaving
God! it’s making me sick
She said “You’re almost worth dying for”
And who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (if you go)
And who’s gonna stay to help me turn out the lights?
I was scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
Oh don’t leave tonight.
And I was lost
For the first time in a century,
And how you found me
It was making me sick.
And we left off
On a roller-coaster ride to
Some place dark blue
And I was scared like a bitch
She said “You’re almost worth dying for”
And who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (if you go)
And who’s gonna stay and help me turn out the lights?
I was scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
Oh don’t leave tonight.
And I’m sorry, I’m sorry, GO!!!
But who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (if you go)
And who’s gonna stay and help me turn out the light?
Cuz I got scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
And who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (oh, don‘t leave tonight)
And who’s gonna stay and help me turn out the light?
Cuz I got scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
Oh don’t leave tonight.
For the first time in a century
And no one believed me
But it hurt like a bitch
You said ‘Bye’
In a way that almost fit me
And how you’re leaving
God! it’s making me sick
She said “You’re almost worth dying for”
And who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (if you go)
And who’s gonna stay to help me turn out the lights?
I was scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
Oh don’t leave tonight.
And I was lost
For the first time in a century,
And how you found me
It was making me sick.
And we left off
On a roller-coaster ride to
Some place dark blue
And I was scared like a bitch
She said “You’re almost worth dying for”
And who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (if you go)
And who’s gonna stay and help me turn out the lights?
I was scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
Oh don’t leave tonight.
And I’m sorry, I’m sorry, GO!!!
But who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (if you go)
And who’s gonna stay and help me turn out the light?
Cuz I got scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
And who’s gonna kiss me goodnight? (oh, don‘t leave tonight)
And who’s gonna stay and help me turn out the light?
Cuz I got scared when you got scared,
But we can be alright, just don’t leave tonight.
Oh don’t leave tonight.

@[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.
