This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
So am I wrong to make believe
That she's divine in all the flawless ways that she
Cuts me back down to size?
Her sarcastic tongue only fuels the fire
Don't get me wrong 'cause I believe she's an affliction that I need
Her sweet bitter words don't phase me
Those little white lies are intoxicating
I lost a step and I'm falling into you
You know exactly what you do
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
I'm powerless and she's well rehearsed
Her sober chorus undermines my wasted verse
Unexpected and defeated
I never thought I'd get off being mistreated
I won't take for granted her picturesque
Letter perfect silhouette
Her red hot short fuse attracts me
I've lost all control 'cause she's so distracting
I tripped up and I'm falling into you
You know exactly what you do
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
I try to save the better days with you
In the back of my mind
But focus on the bitter words you choose
They send chills down my spine
I took a chance and I'm falling into you
You know exactly what you do
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
That she's divine in all the flawless ways that she
Cuts me back down to size?
Her sarcastic tongue only fuels the fire
Don't get me wrong 'cause I believe she's an affliction that I need
Her sweet bitter words don't phase me
Those little white lies are intoxicating
I lost a step and I'm falling into you
You know exactly what you do
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
I'm powerless and she's well rehearsed
Her sober chorus undermines my wasted verse
Unexpected and defeated
I never thought I'd get off being mistreated
I won't take for granted her picturesque
Letter perfect silhouette
Her red hot short fuse attracts me
I've lost all control 'cause she's so distracting
I tripped up and I'm falling into you
You know exactly what you do
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
I try to save the better days with you
In the back of my mind
But focus on the bitter words you choose
They send chills down my spine
I took a chance and I'm falling into you
You know exactly what you do
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
She's adorable as hell
She's got me begging on my knees
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it
La-da-da-da-da, and I'm so into it

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Her tongue cuts like a knife, but he loves it that way. Not exactly Hollywood romance, but it's certainly more relate-able. Just like U2's "Sweetest Thing" I suspect many people just listen to the chorus and completely miss the full meaning about the bitter-sweet nature of the relationship in question.
