@[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.
Trapped inside of your eyes
Gleam like stars above
Emptiness inside
Caught inside of your arms
Warmer than the sun
Never felt so full
Although I can see time is not running out
I still run behind everything
I don't understand
I embrace every thought
Every word, everything
You're watching my heart being
So close to you, your bleeding thoughts
Open wounds still bleeding
You're my everything, you're my everything
The truth brings new meanings
You're my everything
And time stands still
Left behind hateful thoughts
Overwhelmed by your mind
Lost in time again
Shadows bringing me down
Jealous of your face
Drowning in your awe
Tears of unseen light
Heart stopping
Tears of unseen hope
Heart stopping
You're watching my heart being
So close to you, your bleeding thoughts
Open wounds still bleeding
You're my everything, you're my everything
The truth brings new meanings
You're my everything
And time stands still
Gleam like stars above
Emptiness inside
Caught inside of your arms
Warmer than the sun
Never felt so full
Although I can see time is not running out
I still run behind everything
I don't understand
I embrace every thought
Every word, everything
You're watching my heart being
So close to you, your bleeding thoughts
Open wounds still bleeding
You're my everything, you're my everything
The truth brings new meanings
You're my everything
And time stands still
Left behind hateful thoughts
Overwhelmed by your mind
Lost in time again
Shadows bringing me down
Jealous of your face
Drowning in your awe
Tears of unseen light
Heart stopping
Tears of unseen hope
Heart stopping
You're watching my heart being
So close to you, your bleeding thoughts
Open wounds still bleeding
You're my everything, you're my everything
The truth brings new meanings
You're my everything
And time stands still
