This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Doo doo, doo doo,
Baby, gonna make you happy tonight
Gonna make you happy tonight
Oh sugar
Give my love to you, oh baby, gonna make you feel so right
Gonna make you, make you happy, ooh sugar

Before we get down to love, before we get down
I just gotta finish this level
You see I got a high score tonight
And I just wanna save my game
Well I'll be with you in a minute sweet darling baby honey
I love how you dance for me
Could you move a little to the left, baby
I can see the tv, oh, hey
Baby I can't wait 'til we start
Its just that the safe points are quite far apart, in this game, baby
Ooh la la la la la la la
This parts got a multiplayer section honey
Maybe you could operate a torrent with me, would you like that baby?
Games give you hand-eye coordination especially intelligence together with map reading skills, oh sugar
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down just a little bit lower baby
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low
Its just that it helps me feel like I'm in a space ship
Sweet sweet love honey sugar baby ooh you look so great to me
Baby
Have you brushed your teeth yet?
Take your time, no hurry
It's just that I'm not tired
Are you tired?
I'll see you in the bed then
You might wanna take a book, baby
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, you're so fine baby
You know I can't stop thinking about you baby
And all of the magic coins that I need to collect
Yea, see I just gotta find one more point of armor clause and then I can take on the robots of zargon bee and then we can make love
I think this Xbox
Is the best present I ever bought for you, baby!
Baby, gonna make you happy tonight
Gonna make you happy tonight
Oh sugar
Give my love to you, oh baby, gonna make you feel so right
Gonna make you, make you happy, ooh sugar
Spend some time with you
Do the things you want me to, gonna make love
Gonna make some sweet sweet love, sugar
So get ready oh get ready get ready get ready for lovin' tonight
Yeah, Oh
Before we get down to love, before we get down
I just gotta finish this level
You see I got a high score tonight
And I just wanna save my game
Well I'll be with you in a minute sweet darling baby honey

@[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.
