Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Come closer and let me see your eyes, pure evil (lidless and modified) so tell me, do you remember the night, when we last met under sodium light?, the love the center of my happiness, she had wandered into this neck of the wilderness, and by the time I raced to the night patrol, you had quenched your thirst and ravaged her soul, now I've returned here to settle the score, my name is San of the Fre Merzasphor
We wrestle free from the black embrace of hopelessness, we wrestle free, we wrestle dark angels of fear, winged malevolence
(It's such a pity you have so much at stake, your life to me is just a life to take, you're such a fool to think revenge is no crime when your intentions are as evil as mine), come on! And let your hatred fly, let your anger scream, for today you die, I'm pleased that you've been so amused, but what you don't know is I've got nothing to lose
first blow! Is for the blood you've shed as deep as the sea, last blow! Is for the happiness you've stolen from me, now as you fade into nothing hear the words once more, my name is San and I am Fre Merzasphor
We wrestle free from the coils of poisoned innocence, we wrestle bright agents of darkest death
blood washes easily, forgiveness is beyond me, but the hardest lesson to learn is how to forget
We wrestle free from the grip of forces unseen, we wrestle against the pull of deep currents within, we wrestle free from the black embrace of hopelessness, we wrestle dark angels of fear, winged malevolence

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

@[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.
