@[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.
sometimes i run
but i'm not afraid
why must you bring up all mistakes i've made
she makes me smile
you come around
the wind in her hair reflects the sunset
i see you make it seem like it was yesterday
but we've come a long way,
out of the rain
i search for answers
but still find nothing at all
why can't i
why must you say i've made a mess of things
i won't believe it
i feel like i'm dancing on air tonight
i'll make it right
i'll make it right
pull into another station and get more fuel
what will i do sometimes
i drive or ride with my eyes closed tight
cause if the skyline looks this way
then i don't want to sleep tonight
(never giving in always seeking light we must always try try with all our might)
but i'm not afraid

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,
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
i love this song.
this is really a great song but i have to say that mae's version of the song is the better one..
I am a big fan of Mae, and i have heard a lot of talk a bout Sky's the Limit. However i can't find a website anywhere and i cant find any of their music. PLEASE HELP!
