This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Can I be committed is the question in my head
All the issues in my life keep holdin' me back
Can I live up to the standard seems so hard to do
But then you tell me take my hand you'll help me make it through ooh
You ask me child do you love me
And I say yeah, yeah, yeah
But will you just give up everything
And follow me yeah, yeah, yeah.
We talk periodically, it should be everyday
Can imagine how it would be if I let you lead the way
No broken hearts, less scars, less roads that never have an end
So I'll throw away my pride let down
My guard lord hear I am ooh
You ask me child do you love me
And I say yeah, yeah, yeah
(But will you just) but will
You just give up everything
And follow me yeah, yeah, yeah
When I just stop and think of all that you've done for me
How can I say anything but yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
You ask me child do you love me
And I say yeah, yeah, yeah
But will you just give up everything
And follow me yeah, yeah, yeah
You ask me child do you love me
And I say yeah, yeah, yeah
But will you just give up everything
And follow me yeah, yeah, yeah
You ask me child do you love me
And I say yeah, yeah, yeah
But will you just give up everything
And follow me yeah, yeah, yeah
All the issues in my life keep holdin' me back
Can I live up to the standard seems so hard to do
But then you tell me take my hand you'll help me make it through ooh
You ask me child do you love me
And I say yeah, yeah, yeah
But will you just give up everything
And follow me yeah, yeah, yeah.
We talk periodically, it should be everyday
Can imagine how it would be if I let you lead the way
No broken hearts, less scars, less roads that never have an end

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
