Let's go away for a while
you and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away
To stay
On a Holiday
Far away
Let's go today
In a Heartbeat!
Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're goin'
We're goin' where the wind is blowin'
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse
On the road with Kerouac,
Sheltered in his Bevourac,
On this road we'll never die...
Let's go away!

i can't believe no one has picked up on this. the song is full of jack kerouac puns. for those who don't know kerouac is a famous writer often referred to as a "beat neck" generation leader. "on the road" is a book that he wrote and a "bivouac" (they wrote it wrong) is a temporary shelter. "heartbeat" is a movie about him. i'm sure there are more, but that's all i could thnk of. smooth out on the eazy-e tip!
I love this song, one of the best on Blue (I love every single song on that cd though) It's just about getting away for a while and just going where the road takes ya. Great song!
this is such a sweet song. about dreaming about running away with her, having the time of your life.
They start the song off exactly like She Said She Said by The Beatles
This song isn't about the words. It's about expressing a fleeting and instantaneous feeling of excitement that you get when you, for instance, just get with a new girl. You feel like everything you do will be the funnest activity ever engaged in and you will always have a great time no matter what you're doing, as long as you're with each other. This song is so precious because it's so hard to recreate that feeling and you only get to feel it a precious few times in your life. Yeah, you can hop from woman to woman after the feeling dies down, but it keeps getting harder to feel it at all after you become jaded and know that it will never last. To get the feeling at all you have to find room in your heart to believe that it will last and this relationship is different. Thanks Weezer.
My favorite Weezer song.... followed in second by Only In Dreams tied by Oh Girlfriend!! YaY Weezer is a great band... i remember i bought this tape in the first grade... lol... GOTTA LOVE THE WEEZE
Rivers said about Holiday and In the Garage: "Written in a sudden burst of confidence and optimism right after we got a record deal. Those positive emotions have since dissipated - along with our cash advances - but I still like the songs."
This is obviously about Rivers wanting to spend time w/ his chick. Somewhere where they could be alone and have fun.
i love love love love love weezer <3<3 >.< :)
wasn't this one in the mary-kate and asley movie???
