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”
That's not honest
Nothing you've said
Why don't you tell someone
Who'll believe you instead?
'Cause I got this feeling
Is it what they call déjà vu?
I'm nodding my head, yeah
But I don't believe you
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
I don't even care
So there's nothing to defend
It's so long-winded
Like a story without an end
This elaborate yarn
You left behind, like a breadcrumb trail
It's too hard to find the way out
Of your fairytale
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
And you say that you're my friend
And you take me to your bed
As somebody else instead
And I wonder where you've been
And the other one began
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
Don't take me there, oh, please, I do thee implore
Spare me the details
The entrails and the gore
I can see there's a point
You want to drag me in
To impress me and depress me
With your web of sin
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you...
Nothing you've said
Why don't you tell someone
Who'll believe you instead?
'Cause I got this feeling
Is it what they call déjà vu?
I'm nodding my head, yeah
But I don't believe you
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
I don't even care
So there's nothing to defend
It's so long-winded
Like a story without an end
This elaborate yarn
You left behind, like a breadcrumb trail
It's too hard to find the way out
Of your fairytale
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
And you say that you're my friend
And you take me to your bed
As somebody else instead
And I wonder where you've been
And the other one began
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
Don't take me there, oh, please, I do thee implore
Spare me the details
The entrails and the gore
I can see there's a point
You want to drag me in
To impress me and depress me
With your web of sin
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you lie to me again...
If you...

@[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.
