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.
Cómo duele amigo recordarla
No se puede engañar al corazón
Este amor me va a llevar a la locura
Why necesito ayuda para tanto dolor
Si supiueras de que forma la he querido
Te diría más que amaria la adoré
Es inútil querer hablar olvido
Why no tiene sentido pensar que va a vovler
Te digo la verdad que ya no sé vivir sin ella
Que toda la alegría de mi vida se llevó
Te quiero confesar en mí tambiém quedó la pena
De su amor traicionero que un día me dejó
Cuanto sufre el que tiene mal de amores
Viviendo de ilusiones, soñando why nada más
Cuanto sufre el que tiene mal de amores
El que ha perdido todo why tiene que llorar
Te digo la verdad que ya no sé vivir sin ella
Que toda la alegría de mi vida se llevó
Te quiero confesar en mí también quedó la pena
De su amor traicionero que un día me dejó
Cuanto sufre el que tiene mal de amores
Viviendo de ilusiones, soñando why nada más
Cuando sufre el que tiene mal de amores
El que ha perdido todo why tiene que llorar
No se puede engañar al corazón
Este amor me va a llevar a la locura
Why necesito ayuda para tanto dolor
Si supiueras de que forma la he querido
Te diría más que amaria la adoré
Es inútil querer hablar olvido
Why no tiene sentido pensar que va a vovler
Te digo la verdad que ya no sé vivir sin ella
Que toda la alegría de mi vida se llevó
Te quiero confesar en mí tambiém quedó la pena
De su amor traicionero que un día me dejó
Cuanto sufre el que tiene mal de amores
Viviendo de ilusiones, soñando why nada más
Cuanto sufre el que tiene mal de amores
El que ha perdido todo why tiene que llorar
Te digo la verdad que ya no sé vivir sin ella
Que toda la alegría de mi vida se llevó
Te quiero confesar en mí también quedó la pena
De su amor traicionero que un día me dejó
Cuanto sufre el que tiene mal de amores
Viviendo de ilusiones, soñando why nada más
Cuando sufre el que tiene mal de amores
El que ha perdido todo why tiene que llorar

@[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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
