@[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.
Around the world in just one day
Is way too fast, or so they say
But whenever we're together
We can easily go round twice
You're all I need and more
All I've been hoping for
But we both know it is
Not our turn this time
Up and down at rapid speed
Inside out I'm turned indeed
As soon as the command is yours
My whole world seems to change
You shine much brighter than
All the stars, but then again
Alas, it seems you came here
Just a bit too late
In another time, and in another place
Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
And if you were the only rose
That stands in bloom amid all the weed
Still that won't help, and even if
In this world of willows, in which we live
You were the only giant
That won't change a single thing
In another time, and in another place
Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
Is way too fast, or so they say
But whenever we're together
We can easily go round twice
You're all I need and more
All I've been hoping for
But we both know it is
Not our turn this time
Up and down at rapid speed
Inside out I'm turned indeed
As soon as the command is yours
My whole world seems to change
You shine much brighter than
All the stars, but then again
Alas, it seems you came here
Just a bit too late
In another time, and in another place
Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
And if you were the only rose
That stands in bloom amid all the weed
Still that won't help, and even if
In this world of willows, in which we live
You were the only giant
That won't change a single thing
In another time, and in another place
Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
I wish you would understand
You're ten years late
