This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
i saw her with another man walkin downtown
she's not mine and she'll never be by my side walkin downtown
i've only met her once before
she was alone in a back booth
a drink and a cigarette
smoking like she was waiting for someone
me stealing glances as she stole my breath
the next one's on me
may i take this seat
the rest of the bar reciedes
we talked on traveling back roads overseas
"Girl, a change sounds good to me"
she said,
"who can find that kind of time?"
i'd only met her once before
she was alone in a back booth
a drink and a cigarette
drinking like she was waiting for someone
me stealing glances as she stole my breath
the next one's on me
and after it's done
the sun comes up and she's gone
after it's done
you just move on
a night can show what's made plain by the sun
i'd only met her once before
she was alone in a back booth
a drink and a cigarette
smoking like she was waiting for someone
me stealing glances as she stole my breath
she's not mine and she'll never be by my side walkin downtown
i've only met her once before
she was alone in a back booth
a drink and a cigarette
smoking like she was waiting for someone
me stealing glances as she stole my breath
the next one's on me
may i take this seat
the rest of the bar reciedes
we talked on traveling back roads overseas
"Girl, a change sounds good to me"
she said,
"who can find that kind of time?"
i'd only met her once before
she was alone in a back booth
a drink and a cigarette
drinking like she was waiting for someone
me stealing glances as she stole my breath
the next one's on me
and after it's done
the sun comes up and she's gone
after it's done
you just move on
a night can show what's made plain by the sun
i'd only met her once before
she was alone in a back booth
a drink and a cigarette
smoking like she was waiting for someone
me stealing glances as she stole my breath

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

"Me, stealing glances as she stole my breath" Absolutely love that line
I didnt realise it was a one night stand 0_o
Oh and TheShoreline The guy in "Lets Play Guitar in a 5 Guitar Band" spent a whole summer with the girl in that song. This is a one night stand. But yes similar topic.
