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’m running circles around my illusive head
Looking for an answer, a reason
I’m trying to figure out who is alive or dead
Is it me or is it everyone else instead?
Take a picture remember what I have said
Its in your mind don’t ever deny
As I look into your eyes, I fear we are so blind
We’re lost till the end of time
Never wanted to hear what they say
Never wanted to believe them anyway
My vision, this is my own
I’m looking for an answer I can't understand
Getting lost within myself
The human mind can never see or comprehend
If there is meaning to life after death
As I look into your eyes, I feel we are so blind
We’re lost till the end of time
As I look beyond the sky, I see another life
We’re lost till the end of time
We can be confused and question the life we ensue
I cannot describe this feeling I hold deep inside
What is there after life? Is this what we call life? How can we be so blind?
What if this is our lives? The pain we hold inside, in death we all will die
If it’s our only life, don’t waste all of your time, live life before you die
Looking for an answer, a reason

@[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,

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.
