The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
You're my love, you're my sweetest thing
Don't shy away, don't shy away
Every night makes me hate the days
Can't get enough of your love
Am I wrong? Am I so unkind?
Show me the way, don't turn away
I can't hide all these thoughts in my mind
Every moment I'm thinking of you
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
You know what I'm looking for
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
I'll give you love you can't ignore
Feeling good, let's go all the way
It's got to be, set me free
But tonight let my body say
Take it slow, don't let it go
How can I prove my love to you?
Baby please, you're all I need
Like a child but it's more than a phase
Could act the angel but it wouldn't be true
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
You know what I'm looking for
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
I'll give you love you can't ignore
Ooh what can you do for me?
Ooh, what can you do?
'Cause I feel so alive
I feel your love inside, ooh
Just a little bit, little bit more
Just a little bit, just a little
Just a little bit, little bit more
Just a little bit (oh oh oh)
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
You know what I'm looking for
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
I'll give you love you can't ignore
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
You know what I'm looking for
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
I'll give you love you can't ignore
Just a little bit, little bit more
Just a little bit, just a little
Just a little bit, little bit more
Just a little bit (oh oh oh)
Don't shy away, don't shy away
Every night makes me hate the days
Can't get enough of your love
Am I wrong? Am I so unkind?
Show me the way, don't turn away
I can't hide all these thoughts in my mind
Every moment I'm thinking of you
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
You know what I'm looking for
Ooh aah, just a little bit
Ooh aah, little bit more
Ooh aah, just a little bit
I'll give you love you can't ignore
Feeling good, let's go all the way
It's got to be, set me free

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Gentle Hour

Yo La Tengo
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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
