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”
Sour Candy, endin
Coffee stains, where oh I'm so tangled up in my
Big sunglasses and, bed hungry
Second day fair
No we went under
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder
Mr. Don't look so scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad
We went under
I've been very cautious
Trying on this shed of pain
Your humor makes me, makes me nauseous
OU In a twisted, twisted, twisted game.
No we went under
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder
Mr. Don't Look So Scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad we went under
Ohhhhh get your self home
You leave him alone
On second thought
I regret the things to let,
Soo ohhh, oh ho
Sour Candy... endings
And I was barely even there.
No we went under,
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder,
Mr. Don't look so scared
I never knew I never knew
That I could be so sad so sad so sad so sad
So sad
We went under
Coffee stains, where oh I'm so tangled up in my
Big sunglasses and, bed hungry
Second day fair
No we went under
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder
Mr. Don't look so scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad
We went under
I've been very cautious
Trying on this shed of pain
Your humor makes me, makes me nauseous
OU In a twisted, twisted, twisted game.
No we went under
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder
Mr. Don't Look So Scared
I never knew, I never knew
That I could be so sad we went under
Ohhhhh get your self home
You leave him alone
On second thought
I regret the things to let,
Soo ohhh, oh ho
Sour Candy... endings
And I was barely even there.
No we went under,
The weight was too much to carry in
I felt the thunder,
Mr. Don't look so scared
I never knew I never knew
That I could be so sad so sad so sad so sad
So sad
We went under

@[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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
This is an amazing song, I really liked Carly Rae Jepsen, then I found out she did a song with Josh Ramsay (OMG YESSS! <3) Anyway, I thin this song is about a couple with problems and such, their relationship is falling apart and they want to try and fix it.
