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.
I lie in your charms
Though it harms the best of me
And I lie on to my friends to them
No wonder why I wait for thee
And I hope like a child
Widow of the sea
I hold these arms around you
All's around me
Will you be there when the day's done?
Oh, will you be there?
Under the same, under the same sun
Under the same, under the same sun
And I yearn, oughta turn these things
Turn these things around
But I learned from you
Oh, I made these plans, made these plans
With you around dear
With you around dear
Will you be there when the day's done?
Oh, will you be there?
Under the same, under the same sun
(Will you be there when the day's done?
Will you be there?
Under the same, under the same sun
Under the same sun)
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
Under the same sun
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la, lovely as you are
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la, lovely as you are
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la, lovely as you are my dear
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la, lovely as you are
La la la la la la, lovely as you are
La la la la, lovely as you are
La la la la, la la la
Though it harms the best of me
And I lie on to my friends to them
No wonder why I wait for thee
And I hope like a child
Widow of the sea
I hold these arms around you
All's around me
Will you be there when the day's done?
Oh, will you be there?
Under the same, under the same sun
Under the same, under the same sun
And I yearn, oughta turn these things
Turn these things around
But I learned from you
Oh, I made these plans, made these plans
With you around dear
With you around dear
Will you be there when the day's done?
Oh, will you be there?
Under the same, under the same sun
(Will you be there when the day's done?

La la la la la la, lovely as you are
La la la la, lovely as you are
La la la la, la la la

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
