He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Everyday I get a little closer dear
Will you love me darling
When I get there
I'll need sunshine
I'll need rest
Pour us whiskey, water, kiss
Remember me?
She said smiling
Write my name
Somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be
Who you dream
Everyday I try a little harder dear
But those things you do
I don't wanna hear
You'll have yours
I'll have mine
No one guilty
No one right
Remember me?
She said smiling
Write my name
Somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be
Who you dream
Everyday I get a little closer dear
Gonna drive fast
All night 'til I get there
Not much time we can waste
Nothing pretty left to say
Will you love me darling
When I get there
I'll need sunshine
I'll need rest
Pour us whiskey, water, kiss
Remember me?
She said smiling
Write my name
Somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be
Who you dream
Everyday I try a little harder dear
But those things you do
I don't wanna hear
You'll have yours
I'll have mine
No one guilty
No one right
Remember me?
She said smiling
Write my name
Somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be
Who you dream
Everyday I get a little closer dear
Gonna drive fast
All night 'til I get there
Not much time we can waste
Nothing pretty left to say

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"

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
One of my fav Jimmy songs? Its always good to know that aq band you've loved for years can still bring out songs that affect you like this one does...
