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”
It's morning time, wonder where you are
Wonder who you're talking to
Wonder if the sun has risen where you are
It's morning time, I miss your hands on my skin
This bed's too big without you
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and I'm lying next to you.
The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
A little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
Maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
Maybe my heart's too weak
There's just this feeling, thought I had to get going
Got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
But now I don't know how to get home.
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
Mama says take my vitamins,
Daddy says girl, don't stay out so late
Sister says there's other fishes in the sea
But love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
No, love is not a rational thing
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
These fields stretch out like patchwork, on my granny's quilt
She used to tell me that
Life is a series of strange and mysterious things
One minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down
Your mind says girl, you gotta stick around
But your heart says I'm too weak in the knees
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
Wonder who you're talking to
Wonder if the sun has risen where you are
It's morning time, I miss your hands on my skin
This bed's too big without you
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and I'm lying next to you.
The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
A little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
Maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
Maybe my heart's too weak
There's just this feeling, thought I had to get going
Got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
But now I don't know how to get home.
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
Mama says take my vitamins,
Daddy says girl, don't stay out so late
Sister says there's other fishes in the sea
But love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
No, love is not a rational thing
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
These fields stretch out like patchwork, on my granny's quilt
She used to tell me that
Life is a series of strange and mysterious things
One minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down
Your mind says girl, you gotta stick around
But your heart says I'm too weak in the knees
Oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

@[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.

The way she sings that last "oh god" brings me to tears...
