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.
They're more than just words
They're colors to paint my feelings for you
And I know how that there's no way to show you
Just how much I care
And I feel it, oh, so deep within me
And I know that there's so much left to share
All the times you're away, feels just like eternity
As the moments that we had, had to end
The strokes of the brush
Brings me closer to your touch
Through the hues we?ll find a way to follow
I know we will
And the colors are so vibrant like the sun on the ocean
And the hues they will change from day to day
But I know that, that the picture of love would last forever
On this Canvas of our lives that we create
(And our love will last forever)
And I know that always, I saw to try to display
Just how precious that you are to the world
?Cause I know with just a touch, you can show me, oh, so much
That there's more to this life than what we see
The strokes of the brush
Brings me closer to your touch
Through the hues we?ll find a way to follow
I know we will
And the colors are so vibrant like the sun on the ocean
And the hues they will change from day to day
But I know that, that the picture of love would last forever
On this Canvas of our lives that we create
(And our love will last forever)
Colors may fade
Turning vibrant to gray
But one things unchanged
The picture is still the same
And through the days and nights the vision lives on forever
And through a masterpiece of love me made together
We've given all we can, I know the world will understand
The picture is of you and me
And the colors are so vibrant like the sun on the ocean
And the hues they will change from day to day
But I know that, that the picture of love would last forever
On this Canvas of our lives that we create
(And our love will last forever)
They're colors to paint my feelings for you
And I know how that there's no way to show you
Just how much I care
And I feel it, oh, so deep within me
And I know that there's so much left to share
All the times you're away, feels just like eternity
As the moments that we had, had to end
The strokes of the brush
Brings me closer to your touch
Through the hues we?ll find a way to follow
I know we will
And the colors are so vibrant like the sun on the ocean
And the hues they will change from day to day
But I know that, that the picture of love would last forever
On this Canvas of our lives that we create
(And our love will last forever)
And I know that always, I saw to try to display
Just how precious that you are to the world
?Cause I know with just a touch, you can show me, oh, so much
That there's more to this life than what we see
The strokes of the brush
Brings me closer to your touch
Through the hues we?ll find a way to follow
I know we will
And the colors are so vibrant like the sun on the ocean
And the hues they will change from day to day
But I know that, that the picture of love would last forever
On this Canvas of our lives that we create
(And our love will last forever)
Colors may fade
Turning vibrant to gray
But one things unchanged
The picture is still the same
And through the days and nights the vision lives on forever
And through a masterpiece of love me made together
We've given all we can, I know the world will understand
The picture is of you and me
And the colors are so vibrant like the sun on the ocean
And the hues they will change from day to day
But I know that, that the picture of love would last forever
On this Canvas of our lives that we create
(And our love will last forever)

@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
