@[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 can smell the last three days spent sitting in the sea
these past few million miles have been a trial on me
state to state and date to date my fate has brought me here
and I'm long gone, lost, and lonely
looking down
passion got the best of me
now I'm coming clean
the life that we believe we live
is far too much a dream
and it's all about as real as the horizon
and it's chasing me away
leave behind the pain that trailed somewhere far away
I can feel like I belong and I belonged there
drop my bags in 214
collapse onto the mattress
peacefully surrender
to the gravity that grabs me
close my eyes for twenty minutes
the alarm goes off
it wakes up
to entertain the empty bar in town
looking for the best in me
living in between
if anyone could set me free
it'd have to be a dream
cause it's all about as true as the illusion
and it's chasing me away
I leave behind the pain that trails somewhere far away
and I can feel like I belong and I belonged there
I want to feel like I belong and I belonged there
I need to feel like I belong and I belonged there
belong...

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,
