He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
When you're close to tears remember
Some day it'll all be over
One day we're gonna get so high
Though it's darker than December
What's ahead is a different color
One day we're gonna get so high
And at the end of the day, remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day, remember the way
We stayed so close 'til the end
We'll remember it was me and you
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
Don't you think it's time you started
Doing what we always wanted?
One day we're gonna get so high
'Cause even the impossible
Is easy when we got each other
One day we're gonna get so high
And at the end of the day, remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day, remember the way
We stayed so close 'til the end
We'll remember it was me and you
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
High, high, high, high
High, high, high, high
And at the end of the day, remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day, remember the way
We stayed so close 'til the end
We'll remember it was me and you
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
Some day it'll all be over
One day we're gonna get so high
Though it's darker than December
What's ahead is a different color
One day we're gonna get so high
And at the end of the day, remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day, remember the way
We stayed so close 'til the end
We'll remember it was me and you
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
Don't you think it's time you started
Doing what we always wanted?
One day we're gonna get so high
'Cause even the impossible
Is easy when we got each other
One day we're gonna get so high
And at the end of the day, remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day, remember the way
We stayed so close 'til the end
We'll remember it was me and you
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
High, high, high, high
High, high, high, high
And at the end of the day, remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day, remember the way
We stayed so close 'til the end
We'll remember it was me and you
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
'Cause we are gonna be
Forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love

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.
o whole lot more in the past few days, its become something of an anthem. its just awesome.
