@[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.
*chorus*
Cause your one step forward and two steps back
And a mile away with only inches left
And a tear's a lake when your next to him
And my hearts a glass, that's been broken
Tonight... tonight... tonight...
*end chorus*
I'm feeling so enlightened
Yet so supressed
I'm gonna let you know
that I'm not depressed
and what's happened happened
You know the rest
It seems likes life's just one test
And it's sad to say that the time has come
For me to grab my bags and to take a run
You'll try to trip me now but I'm no wayward son
I wanna end this quickly without vicodin
*chorus*
Cause your one step forward and two steps back
And a mile away with only inches left
And a tear's a lake when your next to him
And my hearts a glass, that's been broken
Tonight... tonight... tonight...
*end chorus*
At first it hurt to think
that I wasn't as good as the rest
But now I know
now I know
you can't handle the best
And the best is what I'm at
And if you'd have thought about it
You'd just give me a chance
But we know you won't, no you won't
ever think about it again
But I'm alive and breathin
So I'm okay
But the scars are there
and I'll survive
Take your stuff
And have a good rest of your life
*chorus*
Cause your one step forward and two steps back
And a mile away with only inches left
And a tear's a lake when your next to him
And my hearts a glass, that's been broken
Tonight... tonight... tonight...
Cause your one step forward and two steps back
And a mile away with only inches left
And a tear's a lake when your next to him
And my hearts a glass, that's been broken
Tonight... tonight... tonight...
*end chorus*
I think it's funny that we end this way
With a brand new begginning on a whole new day
And the clock ticks slowly but the night speeds by
With a second to lose, for the rest of our lives
And I'm watching the clock with intentions to die
And it's watchin me back, with a gleam in it's eye
Cause it knows it controls the matter of time
And the matter at hand, is it controls how we die...
*chorus*
Cause your one step forward and two steps back
And a mile away with only inches left
And a tear's a lake when your next to him
And my hearts a glass, that's been broken
Tonight... tonight... tonight...
*end chorus*
Cause your one step forward and two steps back
And a mile away with only inches left
And a tear's a lake when your next to him
And my hearts a glass, that's been broken
Tonight... tonight... tonight...
