Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I see what I do, first look at the phone
Turn on your TV
Unscrew a bottle of beer,
An orange square cellophane cheese
First I think of this, and then I turn to that
Maybe I just don't think
Might sing to this, I might sing to that
If I could only sing
Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone
There was a day when I was alone
A few sane days ago
There was a love I've been living with
That I lost on the way home
First I thought of this
And then I turn to that
And then I turn a little bit scared
Well, I feel a little bit easier
Knowing that you're here
Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone
First I think of this
Then I turn to that
Then I turn a little scared
I feel a little easier now
Knowing that you're all here
Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone
Turn on your TV
Unscrew a bottle of beer,
An orange square cellophane cheese
First I think of this, and then I turn to that
Maybe I just don't think
Might sing to this, I might sing to that
If I could only sing
Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone
There was a day when I was alone
A few sane days ago
There was a love I've been living with
That I lost on the way home
First I thought of this
And then I turn to that
And then I turn a little bit scared
Well, I feel a little bit easier
Knowing that you're here
Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone
First I think of this
Then I turn to that
Then I turn a little scared
I feel a little easier now
Knowing that you're all here
Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

@[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.
No pun intended.
