@[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.
Everyday I'm wakin' up to deja vu
Some ones always telling me not to stick with you
Could it be the nights we spent fixing us
I never thought that we were really that messed up
Should have shut my mouth and kept it all to myself
'Cause now they've got me feeling I should be with somebody else
They say we don't fit together
I could do better
There's always something
They don't know the hell we've been through
'Cause when you hold me like you do
That's when I wanna change nothing
There were times when we would kiss with bitter lips
It don't matter when the good ones taste like this
Maybe we were broken more than once or twice
What we got bad or not I'm not gonna compromise
I should have never let their words
Get under my skin
Cause all I ever wanted was to
Find a way through this
They say we don't fit together
I could do better
There's always something
They don't know the hell we've been through
'Cause when you hold me like you do
That's when I wanna change nothing
That's when I wanna change nothing
Should have shut my mouth
And kept it all to myself
No, no
Ooh, yeah
They say we don't fit together
I could do better
There's always something
They don't know the hell we've been through
'Cause when you hold me like you do
That's when I wanna change nothing
That's when I wanna change nothing
That's when I wanna change nothing
Oh that's when I wanna change nothing
Some ones always telling me not to stick with you
Could it be the nights we spent fixing us
I never thought that we were really that messed up
Should have shut my mouth and kept it all to myself
'Cause now they've got me feeling I should be with somebody else
They say we don't fit together
I could do better
There's always something
They don't know the hell we've been through
'Cause when you hold me like you do
That's when I wanna change nothing
There were times when we would kiss with bitter lips
It don't matter when the good ones taste like this

That's when I wanna change nothing
Oh that's when I wanna change nothing

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.
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,
