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.
Oh, oh my love
Oh, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, oh my love
Oh, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me (it to me)
God speed your love to me
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
Oh, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, oh my love
Oh, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me (it to me)
God speed your love to me
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)

@[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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
The Righetous brother's version of this song is conventionally more of a romantic song. However, in my opinion, when you hear the emotion and passion running from Bono's vocals, it is hard not to be moved. Other's will argue,but when you love somebody can you really illustrate that by singing a soft harmonious whisper?
