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”
You ran away,
To the sun in California.
I'll stay the same,
Under gray skies I'll come undone,
And I know,
On holiday,
The grass so green,
Yes you ran away,
To find the bright white lights of Hollywood
Sometimes in the rain,
I think I'd like to burn, I never will
And I know,
On holiday,
The green green grass of holiday.
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?
Yes you, ran away,
To catch the sun in California
I'll stay the same,
Under gray skies I'll come undone,
And I know,
On holiday,
The green green grass of holiday.
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?
To the sun in California.
I'll stay the same,
Under gray skies I'll come undone,
And I know,
On holiday,
The grass so green,
Yes you ran away,
To find the bright white lights of Hollywood
Sometimes in the rain,
I think I'd like to burn, I never will
And I know,
On holiday,
The green green grass of holiday.
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?
Yes you, ran away,
To catch the sun in California
I'll stay the same,
Under gray skies I'll come undone,
And I know,
On holiday,
The green green grass of holiday.
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?
So look down, look down,
Everybody loves you
And my my my,
Can anybody fly this plane home?
And get down, hurry down,
There's people waiting for you,
And why why why,
Won't anybody fly this plane home?

@[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.

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.
