Give me a minute and I'll tell you stories of the life I used to have and the family I'm from,
Back in a town where the water tasted good and i could still sleep fine,
Go back in time before I met the reason that I can't lie still at night, with my hands along my side,
Those easy times, no sign of cares in adolescent minds.

Do you believe me when I look this happy?
You only see it 'cause you standing with me,
When you are gone I see these looks go distant,
You only see it when your standing with me.

Take a minutes see the situation as we left it long ago, in my room, after my show,
So many months fell in that one little night that I thought was fine,
Sure the cut was deep but I am not so poor that I will let it get me down, not the family I'm from,
All those singles nights, and crazy thoughts in my aggressive mind.

Do you believe me when I look this happy?
You only see it 'cause you standing with me,
When you are gone I see these looks go distant,
You only see it when your standing with me.

I wanna be the only one, the only one, that's knocking at your door,
I wanna be the anchor and the saving grace that holds you always,
I know it's not lost on you, I still see something in your eyes when I look in,
And we can move right to put both feet on the ground, so you can let your guard down.

See I don't get it, I could never do enough and I was so on top of you, everything you were into,
Back in a time when everything was fine, or at least I thought so,
I have something better than the run-of-the-town kinda richer, kinda plain, ones you see on the L train,
And I don't know how you get on with anyone but me.

I wanna be the only one, the only one, that's knocking at your door,
I wanna be the anchor and the saving grace that holds you always,
I know it's not lost on you, I still see something in your eyes when I look in,
And we can move right to put both feet on the ground, so you can let your guard down.

I wanna be the only one, the only one, that's knocking at your door,
I wanna be the anchor and the saving grace that holds you always,
I know it's not lost on you, I still see something in your eyes when I look in,
And we can move right to put both feet on the ground, so you can let your guard down.

Do you believe me when I look this happy?
You only see it 'cause you standing with me,
When you are gone I see these looks go distant,
You only see it when your standing with me.

Holiday
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.
