I'm lost at sea,
the radio is jammed, I bet they wont find me
I swear it's for the best,
and then your frequency is pulling me in closer
'til I'm home...

and I've been up for days,
I finally lost my mind,
and then I lost my way,
I'm blistered but I'm better
and I'm home...

I will grow,
there's things that aren't worth giving up, I know,
but I wont let this get me,
I will fight
you live the life you're given with the storms outside,
and some days all I do is watch the sky

this room's too small,
its only getting smaller,
I'm against the wall,
and slowly getting taller,
here in wonderland, this guilt feels so familiar
and I'm home...

I will crawl,
there's things that aren't worth giving up, I know,
but I wont let this get me,
I will fight
you live the life you're given with the storms outside,
and some days all I do is watch the sky,

Some days, all I do is watch the sky...

I think I,
I could use a little break
Today was a good day
I think I,
I could use a little break,
but today was a good day

It's a deep sea, in which I'm floating,
and still I sink to think that I must crawl.....

there's things that aren't worth giving up, I know,
when you cant bare to carry me,
I'll fight,
you live the life you're given with the storms outside
and some days all I do is watch the sky

today was a good day
today was a good day

    living your life as it comes... dealing with the problems you encounter as you wait for something better to come... and being in a relationship that makes you keep your head up because it is so great to be in...

    to the others that have heard it though:

    is it "...are worth giving up, i know" or is it "...aren't worth giving up, i know"?

    One who is poor and opresses the poor is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food.

    couple of corrections to those lyrics as I have the official ones printed in the UK version... living here is worth it sometimes! they're not major but here goes anyway... The first verse goes : 'The radio jammed, I bet they won't find me'. In the chorus it's actually 'there's things that aren't worth giving up I know'. And I'm not sure about this one, coz in some of the songs the lyrics aren't quite the same as on the recording, I think they changed them around just for fun :D but apparently in the first chorus it's: 'I will grow' as opposed to 'I will crawl'.

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.
