Feels like my life is ready to blow
Me and my love, we'll take it slow
I hope she knows that I'll love her long
I just don't know where the hell I belong (oh, no)

How optimism led me astray
Two hundred things I took the wrong way
But I saw her love gauge runnin' low
I tried to fill, but it overflowed

Feels like my life is ready to blow
Me and my love, we're takin' it slow
I hope she knows that I'll love her long
I just don't know where the hell I belong (oh, no)

She remembers my name
Could be blown way out
It's all goin' to change
She remembers my name

But she was only messing around
Please, no more playing with my heart
Ooh, go Mr. Right just for once
(Then it all just came out) ooh
No more mischief with my mind (guess I'll hold in, next time)

No more gettin' it wrong
I'll be frozen, here on
If forever, we'll see
No more guessin' for me

Ooh, I was just so sure of everything
Ooh, that's what you get for dreamin' aloud
(Then it all just came out)
(Guess I'll hold in, now on)
(If forever, we'll see)
Ooh, the day that words are clearer for me (no more guessing for me)

    My Interpretation

    after watching the video this makes so much sense, its about a young student who is having fantasies about his teacher. he is reading the signs all wrong "Two hundred things I took the wrong way." or " she remembers my name/ could be blown way out[of proportion]" and although the signs are wrong, the teacher is kind of a tease since " i saw her love gauge running low" and then i think the line " Then it all just came out Guess I'll hold it in next time" means that he prematurely ejaculated. this song is great, with this come of age feel that we've all felt when our sexual desires start to appear and "just don't know where the hell i belong"

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.
