In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love, L-U-V
I always saw you just before the dawn
When all the other kids, where just draggin' along
I couldn't believe the way it seemed to be
Rememberin' the things, you used to say to me
About you know I can't be wastin' time 'cause I gotta havemy fun
I gotta get some fun
I got to keep on movin'
Can't stop 'till it's all done
And never done
Well, listen when I tell ya, got no time for fix
'Cause I just gotta make it, can't afford to miss
And there's one reason, I'm tellin' you this
I feels bad
And I'm a-lookin' for a kiss
Well, wontcha tell me, why those kids are movin' so slow
Is it just that they don't have a place to go?
When the day starts breakin', the sun is gonna shine
It's hard to sleep, if I been cryin'
And all the old ladies they are on their way to church
You go to church
I'm beggin', will I be a-roamin' while I'm looking, got to tend to my search
I keep on searchin'
Well, listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix
'Cause I just gotta make it, can't afford to miss
If there's one reason, I'm tellin' you this
I feels bad, bad, bad
And I'm lookin' for a kiss
Well, I been lookin' for a real hot kiss
Come on, kiss me!
Aaaaah-ooooh!
You think it's bad, but you know it's true
So why won't you just let me live, baby?
When I'm lookin' for a kiss
When everyone goes to your house, they shoot up in your room
Most of them are beautiful, but so obsessed with gloom
I ain't gonna be here, when they all get home
They're always lookin' at me, they won't leave me alone
I didn't come here, lookin' for no fix
I-I-I know, I been houndin' the street all night, oh, late baby
Justa lookin' for a kiss
I need a fix and a kiss
I need a fix and a kiss
I need a fix and a kiss
I been looking for a kiss
I didn't come here, lookin' for no fix
I-I-I know, I been haulin' booty, all night long, baby
Just lookin' for a kiss
I always saw you just before the dawn
When all the other kids, where just draggin' along
I couldn't believe the way it seemed to be
Rememberin' the things, you used to say to me
About you know I can't be wastin' time 'cause I gotta havemy fun
I gotta get some fun
I got to keep on movin'
Can't stop 'till it's all done
And never done
Well, listen when I tell ya, got no time for fix
'Cause I just gotta make it, can't afford to miss
And there's one reason, I'm tellin' you this
I feels bad
And I'm a-lookin' for a kiss
Well, wontcha tell me, why those kids are movin' so slow
Is it just that they don't have a place to go?
When the day starts breakin', the sun is gonna shine
It's hard to sleep, if I been cryin'
And all the old ladies they are on their way to church
You go to church
I'm beggin', will I be a-roamin' while I'm looking, got to tend to my search
I keep on searchin'
Well, listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix
'Cause I just gotta make it, can't afford to miss
If there's one reason, I'm tellin' you this
I feels bad, bad, bad
And I'm lookin' for a kiss
Well, I been lookin' for a real hot kiss
Come on, kiss me!
Aaaaah-ooooh!
You think it's bad, but you know it's true
So why won't you just let me live, baby?
When I'm lookin' for a kiss
When everyone goes to your house, they shoot up in your room

I ain't gonna be here, when they all get home

Justa lookin' for a kiss
I need a fix and a kiss
I need a fix and a kiss
I need a fix and a kiss
I been looking for a kiss
I didn't come here, lookin' for no fix
I-I-I know, I been haulin' booty, all night long, baby
Just lookin' for a kiss

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[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.
