If only I was taller
If I had a million dollars
Maybe then you'd be with me
If only I was eighteen
And had the courage
Of the A-Team
Maybe then you'd be with me
But for now I'll have to dream
About your smile 'cause you're not
Here and all I want to say is
That I really miss you
If I could surf a little better
If I had Sumner's sweater
Maybe then you'd be with me
If only I had more time
If I had Mike Ness' hairline
Then you'd want to be with me
If only you weren't so fine
If only I wasn't so blind
I'd find a way
To make you stay
Then maybe I'd see you
If I woke up
With all these things
Would it even change your feelings
None of that is even me
But for now I'll have to
Wait another week
To see your face and all I want to say is
That I really miss you
If I had a million dollars
Maybe then you'd be with me
If only I was eighteen
And had the courage
Of the A-Team
Maybe then you'd be with me
But for now I'll have to dream
About your smile 'cause you're not
Here and all I want to say is
That I really miss you
If I could surf a little better
If I had Sumner's sweater
Maybe then you'd be with me
If only I had more time
If I had Mike Ness' hairline
Then you'd want to be with me
If only you weren't so fine
If only I wasn't so blind
I'd find a way
To make you stay
Then maybe I'd see you
If I woke up
With all these things
Would it even change your feelings
None of that is even me
But for now I'll have to
Wait another week
To see your face and all I want to say is
That I really miss you

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
sounds more like the get up kids
i love "but for now i'll have to dream about your smile cause you're not here and all i want to say is that i really miss you"
If a girl wanted to be with me because I had hair like Mike Ness, then shoot me in the face.
::drool:: Golden fingers... It's a good song. Catchy, and things.
Good, catchy song, and goldfinger sounds nothing like The Get Up Kids in my opinion.
One of my favorite Goldfinger songs....so true!!!!! its like whatifs? like what would make the person be with you? and then wondering if all those things would even change anything - if it would make them want you at all. its about wanting someone so bad it hurts...but kinna deep down knowing you can't have htem, even if you were a million differnet things. its a good song, i love it , its catchy and means alot. to me anywayz.
muah i_love_punk_rock i couldnta said it better..well obviously, im not good with words, but that's okay.deep down you know you can't have them even if you did change.even though you want them so so bad.errr....:(
I really like one of the girls I know, but I can't have her because she's already got a boyfriend, so it doesn't matter what I change about myself...
Sumner's sweater? I always thought it was "some nerd's sweater". what's Sumner's sweater?
i would have to shoot myself if i had sumner's sweater and mike ness' hairline... oh man, they have their priorities messed up, but i do agree that ted nugent should go away forever
