Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
(Ooh, hoo) touch a four leaf clover
Maybe you'll get over (Yeah)
Try and luck might come your way (Your way)
Here I am on a cloud
If you want me, take the chance, cry "Love" out loud
As I drift through the sky
Shooting Cupid's loving arrow, you just might try
But don't miss me
Take your time and aim
'Cause you've only got one chance
I think you better touch
Touch a four leaf clover (Yeah)
And maybe you'll get over
Touch a four leaf clover
And luck might get you over (Ooh)
Touch a four leaf clover (Yeah)
And maybe you'll get over
Try and luck might come your way
Like the wind, I am free
Going places, being things I wanna be
To settle down is, oh, so hard
But I will grant you that one chance, pick the right card
But don't miss it
Take your time, pick it
You only got one chance
You'd better
Touch a four leaf clover
And maybe you'll get over (Maybe you'll get over)
Touch a four leaf clover (Yeah, yeah)
And luck might get you over (It just might get you over)
Touch a four leaf clover
And maybe you'll get over
Try and luck might come your way
I'm free as a bird, yeah, yeah, yeah
To catch me is to catch a leprechaun, hoo, ooh
Hold on to your rabbit's foot
And I just might be yours forever
But you'd better
Touch a four leaf clover (Yeah)
And maybe you'll get over (Maybe you will get over)
Touch a four leaf clover (Mmm)
And luck might get you over (It might get you over)

@[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.
