In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Met him on a Sunday
Oh, it was first day of the rest of my life, oh
(Haven't been the same, since you called my name, everything has changed)
Made me bloom just like a flower
Since the first time we took a shower
Made love for hours (oh)
And I could feel the power of your love
Girl, I'll be true to thee
As long as your lovin' me, givin' you the best of me
Lovin' you is my destiny
I always put you first
(I always put you first)
(You do) And I'll never walk away
(Never walk away) Cause you give me more than anything
And in my heart
You'll always have a place
Baby boy, I'm here to stay
Cause I am your woman
[Chorus]
More than anything
More than a diamond ring with a stone in pink
You're been more to me lately
You mean more than those things
More than the air I breathe (more)
More than the food I eat (more)
More than the shoes on my feet (more)
Oh, you are more than to me
The moment that I saw you
Knew I was crazy for you
The look in your eyes
(Said those things, many things to me)
Girl, join this walk with me
Believe me when I say,
I'm with you for life,
Right by your side, make you my wife
Girl, I'll be true to thee
As long as your lovin' me, givin' you the best of me
Lovin' you is my destiny
(I always put you first)
(You do) And I'll never walk away
(Never walk away) Cause you give me more than anything
And in my heart
You'll always have a place
Baby boy, I'm here to stay
Cause I am your woman (yes you are, yes you are)
I am your woman, boo
[Chorus: x2]
You're my autumn when the seasons change
Falling in love, can't wait to change to rain
Boy, you're like the sun rays
Shining down on a special day
Like sand to a beach
The sweet to a peach
You make my heart beat
Change me from Miss to Mrs.
Granted all my wishes, you're more
[Chorus]
More than a friend becomes a lover
Here to the end don't want no other
Through thick and thin
We've got each other
More than anything
I ask for
Or pray for
You are my joy, oh
Oh, it was first day of the rest of my life, oh
(Haven't been the same, since you called my name, everything has changed)
Made me bloom just like a flower
Since the first time we took a shower
Made love for hours (oh)
And I could feel the power of your love
Girl, I'll be true to thee
As long as your lovin' me, givin' you the best of me
Lovin' you is my destiny
I always put you first
(I always put you first)
(You do) And I'll never walk away
(Never walk away) Cause you give me more than anything
And in my heart
You'll always have a place
Baby boy, I'm here to stay
Cause I am your woman
[Chorus]
More than anything
More than a diamond ring with a stone in pink
You're been more to me lately
You mean more than those things
More than the air I breathe (more)
More than the food I eat (more)
More than the shoes on my feet (more)
Oh, you are more than to me
The moment that I saw you
Knew I was crazy for you
The look in your eyes
(Said those things, many things to me)
Girl, join this walk with me
Believe me when I say,
I'm with you for life,
Right by your side, make you my wife
Girl, I'll be true to thee
As long as your lovin' me, givin' you the best of me
Lovin' you is my destiny
(I always put you first)
(You do) And I'll never walk away
(Never walk away) Cause you give me more than anything
And in my heart
You'll always have a place
Baby boy, I'm here to stay
Cause I am your woman (yes you are, yes you are)
I am your woman, boo
[Chorus: x2]
You're my autumn when the seasons change
Falling in love, can't wait to change to rain
Boy, you're like the sun rays

You are my joy, oh

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.
