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”
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
To see you leave again, it's over
And it kills me to watch you descend, to the end
Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggeling
You're leaving
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
to see you caving in i'm undone
And to say it's the last time again
It's the end
Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggeling
I'm leaving
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead
I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead
You take me down, further inside
Now I can see through you
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
I hover
I hover
I hover – again
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
To see you leave again, it's over
And it kills me to watch you descend, to the end
Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggeling
You're leaving
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
to see you caving in i'm undone
And to say it's the last time again
It's the end
Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggeling
I'm leaving
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead
I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead
You take me down, further inside
Now I can see through you
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
I hover
I hover
I hover – again

@[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.

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.
American Town

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
this song was badass live
hell yeh!
This song is awesome, will definitely get some radio airplay inthe near future.
Dammit, It;s TRUSTcompany, not trust company. The lyrics are right up untill the end.
Glassjaw did the orginal version of this song
Yay First To Post!! But yea, TRUSTcompany is one of the best bands ever. All songs are just...way to great!
Are you sure, or is that what you got off of kazaa. Because on kazaa you can get the demo version and it says it's done by glassjaw but it's not
Hover is definatly the best song on the album although the whole album is good. TRUST company used to be 41 down. You can find an earlier version of this song. I have a different version of the song with different lyrics.
yeah it must have been the demo version
Speaking of 41 down, I've always like that name better.
