You are everything I wanted
The scars of all I'll ever know

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride

You saw all my pieces broken
This darkness that I could never show

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride
And ride
And ride

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride

    Starting again. Accepting flaws. Becoming vunerable. Letting go of the past. Holding on to someone you love.

    I am not sure what everyone else has said...but maybe it is about taking a chance on love, the love is someone who he may have known for a long time and may be in another relationship even. But he is kind of saying "you are everything to me and can you take this chance and try it out"....

    This song stuck the very first time I heard it playing in The Lying Game. I kept playing back the episode, wishing I could mute the actors so I could hear it better!:-D Anyway, now I blissfully have it as my ring tone so...am good.

    It's the kind that stays with you. Keeps going through your mind. And yeah, I agree with the person who says that it's about someone asking his/her love to go away with him. May not even be a literal running away, but an invitation to take the journey of love and life together.

    He is asking that if he loved her, if she would love him back. That's why he says 'If I told you, you were right, would you take my hand tonight?' I really like the beat of this song.

    note to self=when a guy tells you he likes you. NEVER EVER EVER tell him that you dont like him. because you may not like him now, but when he's gone it is soo painful to let go. past experience.

    I JUST LOVE THIS SONG.this guy really knows what love is like, and im someone who knows nothing about love. well other than my love for HEATH LEDGER,and of course cary brothers.

    I love this song. The beat and everything. I'm glad it's on The Last Kiss Soundtrack or I don't know if I would have found it otherwise..

    It's definitely a beautiful song. Like blurrymonkey said, the sound of it is great; it draws me in. It just makes me think of finally finding "the one."

    I got the soundtrack to The Last Kiss and heard it on there, but it sounded so familiar to me. I'm a scrubs fanatic, and I realized it was used on the show once, and even figured out which episode it was in (I have a lot of free time to think and figure stuff out at my job). Season 5, Episode 10 - Her Story II. It plays with the conclusion of the episode.

    How is this song not hugely popular. I love it to death -- i've had it on repeat a little too much =\ To me I think it's about a guy who is ready to completely put himself out there for a girl, but only if the girl shows that she is ready to do so as well. Although, she has already seen a bad part of him so she might be hesitant to start a relationship. Still, an incredibly beautiful yet simple song.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
