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”
Think about what you want
Think about what you got
And all the things that'll heal or hurt you
'Cause when that big barn's full of peaches
It don't matter what the preacher preaches
The days are warm
And the well is full of virtue
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
'Cause he was messin' with the preacher's daughter
Open up your wings
Make a dead man sing
Such a good, good thing just can't be wrong
No, no, no
Can't get too much love
Don't you feel it in your belly
Go get you some
Can't get too much love
The time is right for lovin'
So come on, come on
Mama's in the kitchen
Daddy's in the field
Baby girl is gone to town
'Cause she like the way it make her feel
Swimmin' in the river
Rollin' in the mud
When the juice is drippin' off your chin
One peach is not enough
Can't get too much love
So if you feel it in your belly
Come on, come on
Can't get too much love
The time is right for lovin'
Go get you some
Can't get too much love
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Oh the light that shines upon
The gift that everyone has for the taking
And happiness so pure as this
Is surely worth the making
No, no, no, no
You can't get too much love
So if you feel it in your belly
Go get you some
Can't get too much love
The time is right for lovin'
So bring it on, come on
Can't get too much love
Gonna eat your belly jelly 'til the kingdom come
Can't get too much love
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Think about what you got
And all the things that'll heal or hurt you
'Cause when that big barn's full of peaches
It don't matter what the preacher preaches
The days are warm
And the well is full of virtue
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
'Cause he was messin' with the preacher's daughter
Open up your wings
Make a dead man sing
Such a good, good thing just can't be wrong
No, no, no
Can't get too much love
Don't you feel it in your belly
Go get you some
Can't get too much love
The time is right for lovin'
So come on, come on
Mama's in the kitchen
Daddy's in the field
Baby girl is gone to town
'Cause she like the way it make her feel
Swimmin' in the river
Rollin' in the mud
When the juice is drippin' off your chin
One peach is not enough
Can't get too much love
So if you feel it in your belly
Come on, come on
Can't get too much love
The time is right for lovin'
Go get you some
Can't get too much love
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Oh the light that shines upon
The gift that everyone has for the taking
And happiness so pure as this
Is surely worth the making
No, no, no, no
You can't get too much love
So if you feel it in your belly
Go get you some
Can't get too much love
The time is right for lovin'
So bring it on, come on
Can't get too much love
Gonna eat your belly jelly 'til the kingdom come
Can't get too much love
Give it up, give it up, give it up

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
