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.
If you want to you can
Stick around
'Cause its
Alright tonight
She said
I will stay here
Stay with you
'Cause you're
Alright tonight
And I, I hoped that things would turn
Out my way 'cause she's
Alright tonight she said
This is fun, this is good
Yes, it's alright, it's alright
Chorus
And do you want this one night stand?
Let's take a risk and go play in the sand
You can leave that ring on your finger
I'm a sinner, you're a winner, I am too
We made out now
We made up, yeah
We made love for
The world cup, I said
I want things I've never had before
She said, alright tonight
So we entered heaven
To accept our fate and to
Sum it up baby,
It was great yeah
It's not often that I
See the light,
But it's, it's alright, it's alright
Chorus
Here she comes again now
Here she comes again now
Here we go again now
Do you want this one night stand
Do you want this one night stand
Do you want this one night stand
Alright
Alright
Chorus
I'm a sinner, you're a winner I am too...
(it's alright, it's alright, i'ts alright...)
(don't you want this one night stand, do you want this one night stand....)
i'm a sinner, you;re a winner, i am too
Stick around
'Cause its
Alright tonight
She said
I will stay here
Stay with you
'Cause you're
Alright tonight
And I, I hoped that things would turn
Out my way 'cause she's
Alright tonight she said
This is fun, this is good
Yes, it's alright, it's alright
Chorus
And do you want this one night stand?
Let's take a risk and go play in the sand
You can leave that ring on your finger
I'm a sinner, you're a winner, I am too
We made out now
We made up, yeah
We made love for
The world cup, I said
I want things I've never had before
She said, alright tonight
So we entered heaven
To accept our fate and to
Sum it up baby,
It was great yeah
It's not often that I

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”

@[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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
