@[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 know what it takes to break you
You know I never sleep
Just because you made them think
Doesn't mean the world will fall into place
Took some time but now you know
Tomorrow is too late
Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for
I'll find a way and I return
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight
If today was your last day, would that change a thing?
You probably believe what you told them
Leave each moment like your last
Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for
I'll find a way and I return
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight
You know I never sleep
Just because you made them think
Doesn't mean the world will fall into place
Took some time but now you know
Tomorrow is too late
Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for
I'll find a way and I return
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight
If today was your last day, would that change a thing?
You probably believe what you told them
Leave each moment like your last
Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for
I'll find a way and I return
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be, I will be with you tonight

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'

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
"As far as what i think this song is about, i'm not really sure, but it sounds as if its someone who has been through a rough time with someone they loved."
why cant any of you idiots think of anything besides "uhh maybe its about a girl." just because thats about as deep as your thoughts go doesnt mean that all lyrics are about breakups and relationships. hes married and like 42, for fucks sake, you really think hes still writing lyrics about girls?
"why cant any of you idiots think of anything besides "uhh maybe its about a girl." just because thats about as deep as your thoughts go doesnt mean that all lyrics are about breakups and relationships. hes married and like 42, for fucks sake, you really think hes still writing lyrics about girls?"<br /> <br /> I mean, I hear where you are coming from. However, you awfully quick to ridicule without offering any of your own intelligent insight on the subject.<br /> <br /> Personally, I feel it is about someone he has lost. Perhaps it is someone he loved that fought for what the believed in, and now 'he has found a way, and he will return it', he also wants to see those, 'that do not know, REST IN PEACE, He is coming for you...one day, once he is dead as well (tonight).<br /> <br /> I did not go through the entire song yet, however it has that feel to me, perhaps it is what I am going through at the moment, but at least I don't tear someone else down without providing my own commentary.<br /> <br /> prick.
