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.
It happens every time,
You've given me the sign,
We start to get it on,
But then you stop me.
You know i've had it up to here,
You need to be more clear,
'cause you're the one that let me here,
So take me,
[Chorus]
'cause you said that you would,
But then you changed your mind,
How could you do this to me,
It's just so unkind.
And it's cruel if you say that you'll go all the way,
I can't wait for the day,
That you don't change your mind.
You've got to understand,
Things are getting out of hand,
You can't just leave me sitting here unseen to.
You know i don't know what to do,
Or how long to wait for you,
You said you needed time so i won't rush you.
[Chorus]
That you don't change your mind.
I'll never let you down,
I'll always be around,
When you need someone
To catch you when you fall down.
I'm waiting here for you,
If you decide you want to.
If you want me to stay
Then i'm only a phone call away.
'cause you said that you would,
But then you changed your mind,
How could you do this to me,
It's just so unkind.
And it's cruel if you say that you'll go all the way,
I can't wait for the day,
That you don't change...
And it's cruel if you say that you'll go all the way,
I can't wait for the day,
That you don't change your mind,
You don't change your mind.
You've given me the sign,
We start to get it on,
But then you stop me.
You know i've had it up to here,
You need to be more clear,
'cause you're the one that let me here,
So take me,
[Chorus]
'cause you said that you would,
But then you changed your mind,
How could you do this to me,
It's just so unkind.
And it's cruel if you say that you'll go all the way,
I can't wait for the day,
That you don't change your mind.
You've got to understand,
Things are getting out of hand,
You can't just leave me sitting here unseen to.
You know i don't know what to do,
Or how long to wait for you,
You said you needed time so i won't rush you.
[Chorus]
That you don't change your mind.
I'll never let you down,
I'll always be around,
When you need someone
To catch you when you fall down.
I'm waiting here for you,
If you decide you want to.
If you want me to stay
Then i'm only a phone call away.
'cause you said that you would,
But then you changed your mind,
How could you do this to me,
It's just so unkind.
And it's cruel if you say that you'll go all the way,
I can't wait for the day,
That you don't change...
And it's cruel if you say that you'll go all the way,
I can't wait for the day,
That you don't change your mind,
You don't change your mind.

The Night We Met

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"
Holiday

@[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 is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is really funny to me, because it is obvious to anyone who has ever watched these doughnut punchers, that none of Busted have ever had sex, or probably ever will.
Oh yeah, and if you are looking at this page because you like Busted, you are a cunt and I hope some kind of cancerous lump appears on your face in the night.
See? Comments like that are just NOT necessary. You really are a pathetic individual who has no idea about anything. You aren't even worth me wasting my time... Wishing cancer on people? That's just low and if you're so sad you have to resort to making comments like that then you have my pity.
This is a funny song... catchy and light-hearted and good for a laugh. One to listen to when you're feeling depressed because it's bound to make you smile!
If you are that easily offended, then I have no idea how you have made it this far in life without having some kind of a stroke.
I can whole-heartedly disagree with your last post, this song does not make me smile and is most likely the cause of my depression in the first place...
Then why listen to it? And it doesn't offend me... it just makes me feel sorry for you. It really is pathetic.
Like I said... you have my pity.
I only listen to Busted when I am forced to.
what the hell is worng with..i mean if you odnt like busted why the hell are ya watsing your time posting song lyrics?..i mean you really need to get a life..you really do...and no one gives if you forced to listen to it...how the hell are ya forced to listen anyway the song rox...busted rule :D
What are you talking about? I have never posted a Busted song lyric.
I am forced to listen to this crap, by virtue of the fact that the other people at my work listen to radio stations which only play this sort of junk, and noble though it would be, I can't afford to walk out in protest. Also, I have families with a teenager living next door to me on both sides, who love all this pop-shite and play it loudly (this I can avoid mostly by blasting heavy metal at them).
What are you talking about? I have never posted a Busted song lyric. ^^ i meant why do you waste your time visiting the pages of bands which you dont like and commenting on them....i mean you should get a life and comment on the bands you actually like
And you should get a life and stop annoying me.
What business is it of yours, who's lyrics I comment on?
For all you "Busted" fans, listen to some Muse. Seriously. Then maybe you`ll be saved from being a fan of the talentless "Busted". Actually, everyone listen to Muse.
muse.mu
I know, this seems like shameless advertising, but c`mon, how many of you would rather have people going "LYKE OMFG, BUSTED ARE TEH BEST! ROCK HEEEER00ES!!!!!11111!!".
And I`m adding this on every single Busted lyric sheet, just to annoy the hell out of you teenie-boppers, to get you listening to better music, and to get a point through.
