In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Sally is a Hippie girl one day
Sally is a Rock chick the next
Sally is a Hiphop Baby then a drip pop lady
But there's one thing Sally says everyday, its
She loves me, She loves me just the way I am (yeah)
She loves me, She loves me just the way I am
(Hey, hey, hey)
I got a girl named Sally, she like to keep it trendy
One day its hippy chic, next day its gucci fendi
She got a gold chain, like it was 1980
She buys 3 magazines a week, just to see who I'm datin'
I been to Paris, London, & still.. I come back to Sally
Cuz' I know how she feels
Sally is a Hippie girl one day
Sally is a Rock chick the next
Sally is a Hiphop Baby then a drip pop lady
But there's one thing Sally says everyday, its
She loves me, She loves me just the way I am
She loves me, She loves me just the way I am
(Just the way I am)
I got a girly girl, but she's a tomboy
She like to go nuts, my little almond joy
I try to make her blush, but she's just way too tough
Yeah she's so emo with her makeup and her haircut
She's a rich girl but she could careless; American Apparel
With her dads American Express. She's a college girl
Lettin' lose at night In a mini skirt, sippin' goose and sprite
Shes all around the world, she ain't your average girl
And everytime I leave, I'm comin' back to her
Sally is a Hippie girl one day
Sally is a Rock chick the next
Sally is a Hiphop Baby then a drip pop lady
But there's one thing Sally says everyday & its
She loves me, She loves me just the way I am
She loves me, She loves me just the way I am
(Just the way I am)
To all my Sally's out there, put your hearts in the air
tell me where you wanna go and I take you there
i take you there, girl I take you there I take you there
To all my Sally's out there, put your hearts in the air
tell me where you wanna go and I take you there
i take you there, girl I take you there I take you there
Sally is a Hippie girl one day

@[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.
