@[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.
It's fools like us
Always fooled
By the bright side of life
Then life on the cool
How does it turn?
How does it turn?
Into the dying embers
From a love that burned
On it's way to your heart somehow
On it's way to your heart somehow
On it's way to your heart somehow
They're falling again
My shining stars
From out of your heaven
Ribbons and chains
Ribbons and chains
Tie us together
And keep us apart
Got to get to your heart somehow
Got to get to your heart somehow
Got to get to your heart somehow
If I could be someone
Someone better than me
I would be that someone
Who's still waiting for me
It's always fools like us
Always burned
On the dying embers
Of a love that's turned
On it's way from your heart somehow
On it's way from your heart somehow
On it's way from your heart somehow
On it's way to your heart somehow
Time is on our side
Always fooled
By the bright side of life
Then life on the cool
How does it turn?
How does it turn?
Into the dying embers
From a love that burned
On it's way to your heart somehow
On it's way to your heart somehow
On it's way to your heart somehow
They're falling again
My shining stars
From out of your heaven
Ribbons and chains
Ribbons and chains
Tie us together
And keep us apart
Got to get to your heart somehow
Got to get to your heart somehow
Got to get to your heart somehow
If I could be someone
Someone better than me
I would be that someone
Who's still waiting for me
It's always fools like us
Always burned
On the dying embers
Of a love that's turned
On it's way from your heart somehow
On it's way from your heart somehow
On it's way from your heart somehow
On it's way to your heart somehow
Time is on our side
