After all the time
After you
Had you seen me with someone new
Hanging so high for your return
But the stillness is a burn
Had I seen it in your eyes
There'd have been no try after try
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Could you tell
I was left lost and lonely
Could you tell
Things ain't worked out my way
Wish the best for you
Wish the best for me
Wished for infinity
If that ain't me
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Give it up, I can't give it up
After you
Had you seen me with someone new
Hanging so high for your return
But the stillness is a burn
Had I seen it in your eyes
There'd have been no try after try
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Could you tell
I was left lost and lonely
Could you tell
Things ain't worked out my way
Wish the best for you
Wish the best for me
Wished for infinity
If that ain't me
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Give it up, I can't give it up

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
When I hear this song it reminds me of a relationship I had with someone 14 years ago. Though we lived in different countries, supernatural things would have us somehow always cross paths, one time at a stop light and most recently at the mall last year.
There was a novel worthy, intense love between us, but there were also a lot of wounds that we inflicted on each other due to pride and immaturity and because of this we couldn't even talk to each other for more than a few hours without getting into ugly arguments. He moved on and got married. I dated a ton of guys that all happened to be little replicas of him and though I got several proposals, I couldn't give it up to the guys...and I couldn't give him up...always had a hope I would still be with him, but I am not and am still single.
When I hear this song, I don't think of a conversation between a guy and a girl. I think of girl saying all those words to a guy...and in the last part "Give it up" I think of the girl reasoning with herself, by saying "Just give it up already, he's married" but then her heart responds hopelessly "but I can't give it up, I'm hopelessly in love for infinity".
I'm writing this, cause you never know. Maybe it might help someone. If you have a love that has deeply wounded you, but you know the type of love you both share is rare and supernatural and can't be topped, don't let your scars no matter how painful they are, keep you bitter. The sting of loneliness and separation from your true love is far worst. As hard as it is FORGIVE.
So true.
i am currently going through a very difficult and hurtful relationship and have been trying to work it out for over a year, and considering to truly just let it go... We were madly in love for two years prior before things just took a turn. the love we once had is probably the only thing that even keeps coming back. i must have played this song over 100 times hoping i would find the answer or strength to the right decision.. and i came across your message.. it brought me to tears not only because of your story and how i can relate, but because you wrote it on his birthday... i dont know this may be my message
i wish my ex read your comment. i love her so much. i forgave her, but she couldn't.<br /> i always thought there's something really special between us, that will live forever, and keep us together forever. i never had such feelings with anybody..<br /> <br /> it is so hard to move on, but i know i should. she was close to happiness, when she decided to leave everybody behind, to be with me. but i think i made a mistake there. and she didn't accept me back. <br /> <br /> i truly hope she will be happy.. love you, Aysel...
@lamb1978 i think im here ever 6 months for the last 4 months just to read this comment and im just thankful there is someone else that shares the same pain as i<br /> i hope you have recovered, and i too hope to recover one day
