This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It was hard enough to climb upon
It was slow going at first
Sister, you have laid long in the sun
Aren't you dying of thirst ?
Oh I see your suit is candy striped
And your legs are long and slim
If I whisper nothing's in your ear
Will you pass them on to him ?
You have laid here by the waterside
Since the day we came to town
Have you thought that you could waste away ?
You don't care much for yourself
There are circles deep beneath your eyes
Why do you do this to yourself ?
If you like, we two could take a ride
I would love to take you down
We could watch a blue heron in flight
We could see the sights in town
You have laid here by the waterside
You have let the family down
A cold and fruity drink awaits us both
Watch me frolic in the sand
O did you see me in the surf
With a starfish in my hand ?
Soon the restaurants will open up
Soon the bars will light their lights
You have aged, you must start looking up
Ugly things will come tonight
We could drive down to another beach
Even tan your skin seems white
All our friends have gone away from here
So let's disappear from sight
It was slow going at first
Sister, you have laid long in the sun
Aren't you dying of thirst ?
Oh I see your suit is candy striped
And your legs are long and slim
If I whisper nothing's in your ear
Will you pass them on to him ?
You have laid here by the waterside
Since the day we came to town
Have you thought that you could waste away ?
You don't care much for yourself
There are circles deep beneath your eyes
Why do you do this to yourself ?
If you like, we two could take a ride
I would love to take you down
We could watch a blue heron in flight
We could see the sights in town
You have laid here by the waterside
You have let the family down
A cold and fruity drink awaits us both
Watch me frolic in the sand
O did you see me in the surf
With a starfish in my hand ?
Soon the restaurants will open up
Soon the bars will light their lights
You have aged, you must start looking up
Ugly things will come tonight
We could drive down to another beach
Even tan your skin seems white
All our friends have gone away from here
So let's disappear from sight

@[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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
