Is it ok if I don't make it
Is it ok if I don't come around
The light is fading
And the sun has gone down
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Where's the day that never ended
Tell me when its time to open up my eyes
Light the morning with the sun on the rise
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
For all that you do
For all that you had
For all that you said
Would you take it all back?
When all that you see
Is much more than you have
I will bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
You won't know me 'till you need me
But I won't let you down
So open up your eyes
The day is done
The sun has set in the sky
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
For all that you do
For all that you had
For all that you said
Would you take it all back?
When all that you see
Is much more than you have
I will bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Just because your eyes are open
Doesn't mean you can see
So where do we go?
Well, that's between you and me
Is it ok if I don't come around
The light is fading
And the sun has gone down
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Where's the day that never ended
Tell me when its time to open up my eyes
Light the morning with the sun on the rise
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
For all that you do
For all that you had
For all that you said
Would you take it all back?
When all that you see
Is much more than you have
I will bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
You won't know me 'till you need me
But I won't let you down
So open up your eyes
The day is done
The sun has set in the sky
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
For all that you do
For all that you had
For all that you said
Would you take it all back?
When all that you see
Is much more than you have
I will bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Just because your eyes are open
Doesn't mean you can see
So where do we go?
Well, that's between you and me

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.

it's sad ...i think this song about boy who really wants the girl to come back with him,he felt really sorry for every wrong thing that he have done.. my fav. lines: "Just because your eyes are open Doesn't mean you can see" it's true..my rainbow..luv ya
