I wake up
Something more than what I'm supposed to be
Something more than I have meant to show.
How was I supposed to know
That I've wanted, and I've waited.

And I can be the one
To show you that life's not simple enough.
And I can be the one
To tell you I've held this back for too long.

And my heart aches...
These feelings I've held inside for you.
And my heart aches...
How can I stop the pain?

Never sometimes.
Well I never wanted
It to be this way with you.
So broken-hearted.
Look at all the things
We've been through.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.

Tragic,
To realize that you talk too much.
So tragic,
To realize that you're far too gone
To say you're wrong.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.

Tie the rope around me once more.
I might bend, but I won't break.

Take this timeout
To find yourself.
Take this timeout to learn.

    this will change everything about how you feel about this song lol..Jordan Pundik said at a show that it's about when Ian and Steve got really drunk and kissed each other...the lyrics also fit in with holding something back for so long (their feelings for each other) i used to be able to cry at this song but now it just makes me smile :D

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.
