@[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.
Can you escape the past
And forget what's been said and done?
Could you illuminate
Where there was someone
Time has left its mark
Though you'll always stay with me
Counters everything
I will ever be
CHORUS
Feels like
I'm sinking like a stone
I know we'll never be
The only ones alone
Hold out for daylight
Through the cracks that will appear
Feels like we've turned this
We've always been here
Would you believe the truth
Laid out in front of you?
Could you understand
What it asked of you?
Count the dreams that pass
Every night and day
All the love you bled
For all the love you gave
CHORUS
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah (always the one)
Ah, ah (you're always the one)
Slips away
Calls you in your sleep
'Cause we don't need forever
This moment's all we need
I could live a lifetime
Standing where you are
Alone if I would never
Walking in the dark
CHORUS
Though I know we'll never be the only ones alone, alone
No, alone, now I know we'll never be the only ones alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
And forget what's been said and done?
Could you illuminate
Where there was someone
Time has left its mark
Though you'll always stay with me
Counters everything
I will ever be
CHORUS
Feels like
I'm sinking like a stone
I know we'll never be
The only ones alone
Hold out for daylight
Through the cracks that will appear
Feels like we've turned this
We've always been here
Would you believe the truth
Laid out in front of you?
Could you understand
What it asked of you?
Count the dreams that pass
Every night and day
All the love you bled
For all the love you gave
CHORUS
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah (always the one)
Ah, ah (you're always the one)
Slips away
Calls you in your sleep
'Cause we don't need forever
This moment's all we need
I could live a lifetime
Standing where you are
Alone if I would never
Walking in the dark
CHORUS
Though I know we'll never be the only ones alone, alone
No, alone, now I know we'll never be the only ones alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
