Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
This is my time
This is my time
And now you'll go back where you came from
Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-right
Now is the time to accept I'm right (was right)
Por ser lo más provocar was wrong (was wrong)
Everything's over, I feel sober
To start my life
That one step took me right there
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear
Searching without a cause
Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-right
I will not stand here and be controlled (inside)
Lo necesito sin tu control (I'm not fine)
Siento en mi vena ninguna pena
Without a fear
I take that one step right there
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear
Searching without a cause
Like a game of chess I carved your chest
Don't snap back, pull the trigger into my neck
Bust your move and drop the news
It's a crying shame, I'm feeling all the pain
And you want to slap my face
You'll try to put me in your place
Well I'll step back and then attack
This is my time to get my life back
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear
Searching without a cause
Yeah
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear (fear)
Searching without a cause
This is my time
And now you'll go back where you came from
Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-right
Now is the time to accept I'm right (was right)
Por ser lo más provocar was wrong (was wrong)
Everything's over, I feel sober
To start my life
That one step took me right there
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear
Searching without a cause
Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-right
I will not stand here and be controlled (inside)
Lo necesito sin tu control (I'm not fine)
Siento en mi vena ninguna pena
Without a fear
I take that one step right there
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear
Searching without a cause
Like a game of chess I carved your chest
Don't snap back, pull the trigger into my neck
Bust your move and drop the news
It's a crying shame, I'm feeling all the pain
And you want to slap my face
You'll try to put me in your place
Well I'll step back and then attack
This is my time to get my life back
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear
Searching without a cause
Yeah
True intentions are not
Predisposed to our fear (fear)
Searching without a cause

@[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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical

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.
