@[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.
Sometimes it's wrong to walk away, though you think it's over
Knowing there's so much more to say
And suddenly the moment's gone
And all your dreams are upside down
And you just want to change the way the world goes round, tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know, 'cause I loved and lost, the day I let you go
Can't help but think that this is wrong
We should be together
Back in your arms where I belong
And now I've finally realized
It was forever that I've found (forever that I've found)
I'd give it all to change the way the world goes round, tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know (I should know), 'cause I loved and lost, the day I let you go
I really want to hear you say, that you know just how it feels
To have it all and let it slip away, can't you see
Even though the moment's gone (moment's gone), I'm still holding on somehow
Wishing I could change the way the world goes round, tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know (I should know), 'cause I loved and lost, the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let you go
Knowing there's so much more to say
And suddenly the moment's gone

And you just want to change the way the world goes round, tell me

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,
