what was i to say?
i'm already alone
and there's nothing here except a hole in the wall
what was i to do?
and how should i know?
i was never good when times are changing

one more chance
i never would react like this
one more time
could be time enough to think about it
and one last straw
hope it's strong enough to make this work
or throw away everything

it's time that i go
i can sleep on the road
it won't be soft but it will be on my own
i'm sure that last time i couldn't have been wrong
besides i'm not good with saying sorry


one more chance
i never would react like this
one more time
could be time enough to think about it
and one last straw
hope it's strong enough to make this work
or throw away everything

just one time is all it takes
one time is all it takes

time it shows that we need to be that
i've been strong enough to be on my own
taking time with that and excuses
got to show it to know that
everything is alright

one more chance
i never would react like this
one more time
could be time enough to think about it
and one last straw
hope it's strong enough to make this work
or throw away everything

    Boo. They renamed this song to "No Good At Saying Sorry (One More Chance)" so yeah, that's what it'll be on the new album. I totally love this name better, but whatever.

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
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.
