Young friend there are
Unspoiled sides o' country
Those hills make ya moon and make ya swooney
And they have wiped away the bloom from your strawberry brow
With their wispy clutch and wispy gown
I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
But now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
Young friend there are
Silos of things that make you want to grow
In the west on farms that sound like string-lit bows
And they will keep you close and they
And they will keep you in good company
Like the sad ol' tunes that make you moody
But I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
But now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
Now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
Unspoiled sides o' country
Those hills make ya moon and make ya swooney
And they have wiped away the bloom from your strawberry brow
With their wispy clutch and wispy gown
I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
But now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
Young friend there are
Silos of things that make you want to grow
In the west on farms that sound like string-lit bows
And they will keep you close and they
And they will keep you in good company
Like the sad ol' tunes that make you moody
But I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
But now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
Now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns
You gave me the frowns

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
this song is pure brilliance.
I think it's talking about taking a break from someone to find what makes you happy.
Love this song--the sound, the lyrics, everything. I think the first verse was inspired by the line in Pride and Prejudice, "What are men to rocks and mountains?"
