In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I stalked you for so long
You watched me just as stro-o-ong
It feels right bein' wrong
Never thought I'd get you, no, but here you are at my front door
The less you show, the more you get
It doesn't matter if you're feelin' it
Put down your phone, don't send that pic
They won't come back unless they're missin' it
But now that I got ya
It keeps gettin' hotter
I don't want a water
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
Down to my toes (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll never let you go (Never let you go!)
My sweet tooth is too stro-o-ong, yeah
Your sugar is my home (Sugar is my home!)
Never thought I'd get you, no, but here you are at my front door
The less you show, the more you get
It doesn't matter if you're feelin' it
Put down your phone, don't send that pic
They won't come back unless they're missin' it
But now that I got ya
It keeps gettin' hard to
I don't want a water
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
Down to my toes (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
I know you act like you don't want it
Girl, I know you need it
'Cause you be actin' like my woman
Every time you see me
My mind blown
I wanna pebble, I wanna marble
I wanna stone, I wanna rock, rock right now
I rock bass so she came to get down
She said, "In honesty, he wasn't fly when I met him"
She said, "You're separate, Kent, you're fly on another level"
I call her "melody" 'cause I got her hittin' falsetto
She said, "No strings attached,"
So Geppetto had a couple side puppets just to make her feel special
I like girls that niggas look at on the comment
On my mama, Keke Palmer, I'm just bein' honest
She gon' play hard to get now that she know I want it
But I'm sure to break her off before I break a promise
Leavin' Memphis, on my way to Nash
Head while I'm drivin', almost made me crash
I hate smartmouth girls that fuck the vibe up
She jumped out the window and hit the Stacey Dash
But now that I got ya
It keeps gettin' hotter
I don't want a water
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
Down to my toes (ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
(Oh, my mind's blown)
My mind's blown
You watched me just as stro-o-ong
It feels right bein' wrong
Never thought I'd get you, no, but here you are at my front door
The less you show, the more you get
It doesn't matter if you're feelin' it
Put down your phone, don't send that pic
They won't come back unless they're missin' it
But now that I got ya
It keeps gettin' hotter
I don't want a water
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
Down to my toes (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll never let you go (Never let you go!)
My sweet tooth is too stro-o-ong, yeah
Your sugar is my home (Sugar is my home!)
Never thought I'd get you, no, but here you are at my front door
The less you show, the more you get
It doesn't matter if you're feelin' it
Put down your phone, don't send that pic
They won't come back unless they're missin' it
But now that I got ya
It keeps gettin' hard to
I don't want a water
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
Down to my toes (Ooooh)
My mind's blown (Ooooh)
I know you act like you don't want it
Girl, I know you need it
'Cause you be actin' like my woman

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.
