This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
ever since i met you've captured my heart
you treated me like a lady from the very start
guess i'm a little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see
that i have to grow older and change on my own
i want to be a singer but go it alone
but it is hard for me cause i dont wan't to see that
i'm too young for a man,
but i'm too old for a boy.
so can't we just pretend,
that i'm older than i really am,
but then, only little girls pretend.
i put on all the make-up that i can possibly find
i'm five years older in just a minute's time
but i can't compete with the ladies that attract your kind
so i rummage through my sister's things
hoping to find something that will catch your eye
to make you change your mind
so i won't have to leave, so you won't say to me
i'm too young for a man,
but i'm too old for a boy.
so can't we just pretend,
that i'm older than i really am,
but then, only little girls pretend.
i'm left out in the night
i've lost all my senses
i know this isn't right
but you've captured my defenses
i really am in love
well thats the way i feel
this game has to stop
cause you know it can't be real
i'm too young for a man,
but i'm too old for a boy.
so can't we just pretend,
that i'm older than i really am,
but then, only little girls pretend.
i know i'd make you happy
but i'm too young for a wife
love is always special but i know i can't rush life
so i'm waiting in the wings to see what life will bring
and maybe in a few years when i am wise and tall
love will light again and shine upon us all
he says i'm a little girl in her dreams
who doesn't want to see
i'm too young for a man,
but i'm too old for a boy.
so can't we just pretend,
that i'm older than i really am,
but then, only little girls pretend.

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”

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Wow, that's freaky. My name is Ellen and this song is exactly what I've been thinking about lately. Wanting to rush into your future and stuff you think your ready for, despite how a bad an idea you know it is. Weird, man!
