This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm staring at the glass in front of me,
Is it half empty? Have I ruined all you've given me?
I know I've been selfish,
I know I've been foolish,
But look through that
And you will see,
I'll do better, I know,
Baby, I can do better
If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own,
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sing till it dies
If you leave me tonight
Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping,
I listen to your breathing,
Amazed how I somehow managed to
Sweep you off your feet girl,
Your perfect little feet girl
I took for granted what you do
But I'll do better, I know
Baby, I can do better
If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own,
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sing till it dies
If you leave me tonight
And don't you know my heart is pumping, oh,
It's putting up the fight,
And I've got this feeling,
That everything's alright,
And don't you see,
I'm not the only one for you
But you're the only one for me
If you leave me tonight I'll wake up alone,
(Stay) If you leave me tonight,
(Close) I'll wake up alone,
(Don't) Don't tell me I will
(Go) Make it on my own,
(Stay) Don't leave me tonight,
(Close) This heart of stone
(Don't) Will sing till it dies
(Go) If you leave me tonight
Don't leave me tonight

@[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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. 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.
"I'm not the only one for you But you're the only one for me"
exactly my situation
this song is predictably just as beautiful as secondhands other songs. i think it is bout a guy feeling like she is leaving and realizes she is all he has. another sweet love song

I always thought they sounded a bit like Dashboard Confessional, and this song... proves it... but Secondhand Serenade sounds awesome! I luv "Vulnerable"
yeah, this song especially sounds like Dashboard. which is not a bad thing.
this song is beautiful. i love this band.
one of my favourites songs from secondhand
He sounds very much like Dashboard Confessional. Seriously, can't we change the "users would also like (insert band name here)"? Who decides that shit and why are they clueless?
wow. there's something about every single one of his songs that just "sweeps you off your feet."
the first time i heard this song i was like CHRIS CARABBA! then i read the comments and see im not the only one! haha dashboards my favorite band so i think sounding like chris is a good thing.
anyway, i think this song's pretty self-explanitory. he's made some mistakes that has made their relationship vulnerable, and now that he's realizing this, hes like panicking because this girl is the "only one" for him and hes trying to show this to her by spilling his heart and feelings basically.
amazing song.
This song is about John's wife talking about leaving him because of his touring, and his pleading for her to stay with him.
Sadly... she left him.
wait she left him???<br /> <br /> i though they were having another kid er something???
My ex used to sing this song to me... He was always worried I was going to leave him because he thought I could find someone better. Turns out he's the one who left me. So now I was the one to sing this song lol. My favorite part: "Don't you see? I'm not the only one for you, but you're the only one for me." Me and my ex were going out for about 2 months and we were listening to this song parked at the lake. At the exact same time we looked at each other and said " You're the only one for me" It wasn't planned or anything. Very cute =] Just thought I'd share that :) I love love LOVE this song
