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.
Yeah yeah, oohh
Even though I'm scared,
And I'm not prepared
I need to know
A way
To be oh so sure
That I can adore your heart (your heart) your soul (your soul) your love
'Cause baby I care,
And I hope you feel the same
Don't let me down
I'm telling you that you're my baby
The world's gone crazy
This love we've found
Don't always come around (won't you dance)
So I'm telling you baby
I'm still around
Ohh oh oh oh
Hhmmmmm hmm hmm
I apologize,
For the way that I
Describe
My mind
To you.
With my love for you,
I Would not fail to keep you true
It's all, I have, to do do do
'Cause baby, I care,
And I hope you feel the same
Don't deny me
Don't let me down
I'm telling you that you're my baby
The world's gone crazy,
This love we've found
Don't always come around (won't you dance)
So I'm telling you baby
I'm still around
'Cause baby I care,
I hope you feel the same
Don't deny me (Don't let me down, I'm telling you)
I'm telling you (that you're my baby, the world's gone crazy)
This love we've found
Don't always come around (won't you dance)
So I'm telling you baby
Don't let me down (Don't let me down down)
I'm telling you that you're my baby (you're my baby)
The world's gone crazy
This love we've found (we've found)
Don't always come around (won't you dance)

@[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.
