Can you make it easier for me to understand
How you're holding my heart, in your trembling hands...
Eyes that rise to meet me half way up among the stars,
You may be from Venus but I'm definitely not from Mars
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless in time
Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do
If I could do it, I'd be doing it to you
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless in time
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless
You've got me suspended motionless
You've got me suspended motionless in time
How you're holding my heart, in your trembling hands...
Eyes that rise to meet me half way up among the stars,
You may be from Venus but I'm definitely not from Mars
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless in time
Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do
If I could do it, I'd be doing it to you
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless in time
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down, what's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless
You've got me suspended motionless
You've got me suspended motionless in time

@[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.

OMG!! yes thanks for correcting them those lyrics were wrong...very wrong! I love this song... my ex sung it to me wen his band played the other night and it was so funny... so i guess if u wanna know wot it means ask my ex lol
thank goodness for the corrected lyrics!~ but yea, i guess it could be about the unredictablitlity of a girl, could anyone explain it roughly through the verses though?
The song is like, he is an island, stuck in the middle of this girl that he compares to an ocean because she has these "violent waves" that keep crashing and so many things going on and hes just stuck in the middle, in love with her
one of those incredibly quirky and unpredictable girls. the crazy ones with an extreme love for life. the ones that smile and laugh just because they can. and the guy that is lucky enough to love her.
