I pissed you off when I tried to stop the rain
You said, "Child, I'm sorry, these songs all sound the same,"
Then I kissed your cheek like a gentleman
And whispered "Don't give up,"
All the monsters in this town will act like they give a fuck

(Chorus)
But I know they don't, they never even learned to love
This is what I've been dreaming of
I'll shade your eyes and tell you you look pretty even when you don't
Believe me

I'm a black whole with a personality
I love love and Rilo Kiley
Most days I hate the rain
But sometimes I don't
It's a damn shame that you still hate change
One day you'll learn everything everywhere's all the same
With your eyes closed

Just give me two chords and I'll make you cry
It's the slow songs that'll change your life
When you're too tired to even say,
"Where's my mind?"

(Chorus Repeat)

The drunks all sound like angels
Singing all night from the bar light doors
I wonder when they'll realize
No one's singing along

These roads all lead to nowhere
In the towns where no one sleeps
Seattle, Dallas, and Nashville
A Marietta moon in New York City

(Chorus Repeat)

God damn these thoughts of mine
I just need one good night
Where things go right for once
And my whole life doesn't explode

Seemingly, it's a really, really good thing
To know you're invincible
Everybody ends up in the ground
Scared as hell of heaven
And whatever might be next

(Chorus Repeat x2)

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.
