In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
And the sun is pouring in
Through the window
And right onto your skin
And I've never seen a portrait quite so picturesque
And the hours slip away
I always struggle for the right words to say
'Cause how could I try to describe in sentences that I cant believe a girl like you exists
[Chorus]
So don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking about
Just the thought of you sustains me and that smile of yours can make the whole world new
I love the way I feel when I'm with you
And when you say hello it makes me happier than you could ever know
The way you light up every room you've ever walked into
Makes me glad that I'm with you
[Chorus]
So don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking of
Just the thought of you sustains me and that smile can make the whole world new
I love the way I feel when I'm with you
And the sun is pouring in through the window and right onto your skin
Through the window
And right onto your skin
And I've never seen a portrait quite so picturesque
And the hours slip away
I always struggle for the right words to say
'Cause how could I try to describe in sentences that I cant believe a girl like you exists
[Chorus]
So don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking about
Just the thought of you sustains me and that smile of yours can make the whole world new
I love the way I feel when I'm with you
And when you say hello it makes me happier than you could ever know
The way you light up every room you've ever walked into
Makes me glad that I'm with you
[Chorus]
So don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking of
Just the thought of you sustains me and that smile can make the whole world new
I love the way I feel when I'm with you
And the sun is pouring in through the window and right onto your skin

@[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.
