The Cars – It's All I Can Do Lyrics 8 years ago
One too many times I fell over you
He has reached the point where he can't take the "hoping" / "see things as they are" rollercoaster anymore
Once in a shadow I finally grew
Once during a "see things as they are" sad time he got wise; decided to break the cycle; decided to try to pull away
And once in a night I dreamed you were there
Had a dream of her and even though he realized it the "real" feeling was unshakable
I cancelled my flight from going nowhere
Changed the day's plans because they'd suddenly become utterly unimportant, due to his depression.

It's all I can do
To keep waiting for you
It's all I can do
It's all I can do
He's waiting for her to commit.

One too many times I twisted the gate
Made too many exceptions for her.
When I was crazy I thought you were great
Self explanatory. Love is blind.
I kept my renditions of you on the wall
Kept choosing to see her the way he wanted to see her ("my" renditions).
Where holiday romance is nothing at all
I am stumped on this one. Could be filler / nonsense lyric.

It's all I can do
To keep waiting for you
It's all I can do
It's all I can do
The strain of suffering through the lows is "all he can do"

You wait in the wing like a Saturday flirt
She's non committal
Protecting the judge, you don't want to get hurt
He presumes she doesn't commit due to fear
Once in a moment it all comes to you
He has the realization / finally comes to terms
As soon as you get it you want something new
She's only in it for the thrill of the kill
