Holding back, I'll see you when the next few days pass through us like ghosts that keep us even farther from home.

I'm barely awake with barely enough blood in my veins
to call you back and tell you tomorrow's not worth waking up
You're never alone, you're never important to yourself
Couldn't be more in love, or be more apart when you are waking up

Holding back, I'll see you when the next few days pass through us like ghosts that keep us even farther from home.

Driving north, I'll call you when we get past New York
It's hard enough
It's hard to be alone when we're this close to home

Holding back, I'll see you when the next few days pass through us like ghosts that keep us even farther from home.

You've never been gone.
You've never been gone this long.

Holding back, I'll see you when the next few days pass through us like ghosts that keep us even farther from home.

We'll fall asleep knowing all the people we meet
will dissolve when home reminds us what it's like to feel small.

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.
