This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Feel me a home to crawl inside of you
And lay this this heart unsure
And I'm sick of your sores, ye-eah
But I'll always stay sitting, Well I'll go...
And I'm your, yea-ea-eah
And I'm your whore
Please leave me a taste
The fire, pleasure from my concern
But I'm a little late
And I'm sick of your quirks, ye-eah
Because I'll always be my own, I
I deserve a..
A lollipop whore, yeah, lollipop whore
A whore!
(Haha, Oh yeah, Ahhh!!)
You're all I wanted
You'll always be true to me...
You're all I've ever wanted
Run, days of more
But I can complete it, yea-ea-oh
I could come down
Yeah well what if I would spare?
Could circles count down?
But I could complete it, yeah-ea-oh
I could come down
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence is leading to injuries and sores
So what could you do?
She screamed love is such a strong word
I said what if we took a word, deciphered the innocence
And well, um, fucked...
Say what could you do?
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence that lead us to those injuries and sores
Say what I would do for you...
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself, even now
What if we take away?
What if I take away?
Me and my whore
I scare myself
But I'm not ready to fuck her
Fuck her, fuck her, just to fuck her
I just can't think anyways
So give me my pussy you whore
(I'm standing here, I'm waiting)
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck me
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck
(And I fool no one even more)
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself (come on, you whore)
What if we take away?
What I take away?
Me and my lifeless whore
I scare myself
I scare myself...
And lay this this heart unsure
And I'm sick of your sores, ye-eah
But I'll always stay sitting, Well I'll go...
And I'm your, yea-ea-eah
And I'm your whore
Please leave me a taste
The fire, pleasure from my concern
But I'm a little late
And I'm sick of your quirks, ye-eah
Because I'll always be my own, I
I deserve a..
A lollipop whore, yeah, lollipop whore
A whore!
(Haha, Oh yeah, Ahhh!!)
You're all I wanted
You'll always be true to me...
You're all I've ever wanted
Run, days of more
But I can complete it, yea-ea-oh
I could come down
Yeah well what if I would spare?
Could circles count down?
But I could complete it, yeah-ea-oh
I could come down
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence is leading to injuries and sores
So what could you do?
She screamed love is such a strong word
I said what if we took a word, deciphered the innocence
And well, um, fucked...
Say what could you do?
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence that lead us to those injuries and sores
Say what I would do for you...
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself, even now
What if we take away?
What if I take away?
Me and my whore
I scare myself
But I'm not ready to fuck her
Fuck her, fuck her, just to fuck her
I just can't think anyways
So give me my pussy you whore
(I'm standing here, I'm waiting)
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck me
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck
(And I fool no one even more)
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself (come on, you whore)
What if we take away?
What I take away?
Me and my lifeless whore
I scare myself
I scare myself...

@[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.

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
