@[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.
I've got a T-shirt
That says I like The Ramones
I bought the album
Cause it fits on my phone
And on the weekend
When I've got nothing to do
I've got a million different problems that I'll take out on you
I'm an impostor
But I'm so well informed
I got a closet
Of salmon pink shirts
I got a girlfriend
That I like to abuse
I've got a million different reasons why I'm better than you
Hey, Dolly!
Hey, Dolly!
I like the music
But I don't know the words
I know the chorus
But I don't know the verse
And I'm a liar
Or didn't I mention?
I've got a million different reasons why I need the attention
I've got prescriptions
That I don't have to use
I've got the answers
But I don't have a clue
I'm real sensitive
If you keep your mouth shut
I've got a million different reasons why I don't give a fuck
Hey, Dolly!
Hey, Dolly!
I've got a T-shirt
That says I like The Ramones
I bought the album
Cause it fits on my phone
And on the weekend
When I've got nothing to do
I've got a million different problems that I'll take out on you
Hey, Dolly!
Hey, Dolly!
Hey, Dolly!
Hey, Dolly!
That says I like The Ramones

When I've got nothing to do
I've got a million different problems that I'll take out on you

But I'm so well informed

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,

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
