In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Now I don't care if I get burned
Loving you is what comes first
Although you've heard a thousand lies
Please believe me for tonight
Do you know you're magic
Yeah, you little star
Walkin' through the world
Breakin' peoples heart
Do you know you're magic
Yeah, you little star
Well, shine on, shine on
Back and forth across my heart
I won't forget you, little star
Little star
I don't care if I get burned
Loving you is what comes first
I don't care if I get burned
Loving you
Although you've heard it a hundred times
Believe me, darling, so have I
But now lets live just for tonight
And let tomorrow take ist time
Back and forth across my heart
I won't forget you, little star
Little star
Back and forth across my heart
I won't forget you, little star
Little star
Loving you is what comes first
Although you've heard a thousand lies
Please believe me for tonight
Do you know you're magic
Yeah, you little star
Walkin' through the world
Breakin' peoples heart
Do you know you're magic
Yeah, you little star
Well, shine on, shine on
Back and forth across my heart
I won't forget you, little star
Little star
I don't care if I get burned
Loving you is what comes first
I don't care if I get burned
Loving you
Although you've heard it a hundred times
Believe me, darling, so have I
But now lets live just for tonight
And let tomorrow take ist time
Back and forth across my heart
I won't forget you, little star
Little star
Back and forth across my heart
I won't forget you, little star
Little star

@[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.
