This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It really hurts to know that I'm why your bed's half empty
Why you sleep alone or just stare up at your ceiling
And if you're a mess, God knows what that makes me
'Cause the weight from all my guilt is all too much for me to carry
I'm sorry
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances
I'll mend your heart and break it in the same breath
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
(Dial tones)
I'm getting more of what I've always wanted
But becoming less of who I've ever been
'Cause I promised myself I'd never hurt you and I did
If you can't trust a liar, how can you trust me again?
I'm running out of ways to say I'm sorry
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances
I'll mend your heart and break it in the same breath
All we ever share are dial tones
Forget me like you know you want to
Forget me like you know you have to
It really hurts to know that I'm why your bed's half empty
Why you sleep alone or just stare up at your ceiling
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances
I'll mend your heart and break it in the same breath
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
All we ever share are (dial tones)
All we ever share are (dial tones)
Why you sleep alone or just stare up at your ceiling
And if you're a mess, God knows what that makes me
'Cause the weight from all my guilt is all too much for me to carry
I'm sorry
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances
I'll mend your heart and break it in the same breath
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
(Dial tones)
I'm getting more of what I've always wanted
But becoming less of who I've ever been
'Cause I promised myself I'd never hurt you and I did
If you can't trust a liar, how can you trust me again?
I'm running out of ways to say I'm sorry
Am I all that you never wanted?
Or has it been so long that you've forgotten?
All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
Take your caution or take your chances

All we ever share are dial tones

All we ever share are dial tones (dial tones)
All we ever share are (dial tones)
All we ever share are (dial tones)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
