There are days that take too long
Its those days I wish I had you right here in my arms
I'm gettin' lonely
I'm sick of waitin' here for you
I'm gettin' lonely
Please come home 'cause I want to be with you
Or maybe I'm a fool

Baby
You still drive me crazy
Nothing's gonna change me
So you don't have to cry

Maybe I should take the blame
I guess a music man is no shelter from the rain
I'm gettin' lonely
I'm sick of waitin' here for you
I'm gettin' lonely
Please come home 'cause I want to be with you
Or maybe I'm a fool

Baby
You still drive me crazy
Nothing's gonna change me
So you don't have to cry

Oh yeah I said baby
You know that you saved me
Your love's so amazing
You're never off my mind

All right, c'mon now
Yeah

Nothing's goin' on
I've been gone for way too long
I'll be right back in your arms
Don't be afraid

I'm gettin' closer
Of makin' my way back home to you
I'm gettin' closer
I can see your face and a light keeps shinin' through
And baby what am I to do?

Baby
You still drive me crazy
Nothing's gonna change me
So you don't have to cry
No no no I said

Baby
You know that you saved me
Your love's so amazing
Your never off my mind

Oh I said
Nothing's going on
I've been gone for way too long
I'll be right back in your arms
Don't be afraid

    This song speaks for itself. I have to agree with you yo about this being the best song on 15. But Sorry come very close. Josh Todd is a great song writer.

    Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think this song is about being on tour and not being able to see that one person who means everything to you. Just look at the lyrics

    this song is really awesome .. its doesnt need to be explained though.. its all about missing someone and telling them as your leaving that your not gonna change and that they are always gonna drive you crazy.. if someone would miss me that way i would be like the happiest girl in the whole entire world!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
