@[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.
Passed some time on the stoop on the block were we used to sit
I thought about it all too much
I thought so hard I couldn't see
Pete rode by on his Hutch
Passed some time on the stoop on the block were we used to sit I looked down and tied my shoes
I thought about it all too much
I looked up and then I knew
I guess these things were meant to be and there's no use fighting what's in me
Night on earth
Passed some time walking around looking for something to be when I stopped to look around all the music was different to me
All these places we used to go when I loved you I didn't see
I'll miss you but now I'll know better next time because I found me
I thought about it all too much
I thought so hard I couldn't see
Pete rode by on his Hutch
Passed some time on the stoop on the block were we used to sit I looked down and tied my shoes
I thought about it all too much
I looked up and then I knew
I guess these things were meant to be and there's no use fighting what's in me
Night on earth
Passed some time walking around looking for something to be when I stopped to look around all the music was different to me
All these places we used to go when I loved you I didn't see
I'll miss you but now I'll know better next time because I found me
