Holiday

Being an emo band it's hard for me to think it's about anything other than a girl. Not to say it's bad, I freaking love this song.

I get a feeling of maybe his exgirlfriend went to college (she's in town for the holidays) and they do that empty shallow fake conversation that you do with people you don't know anymore. And the old days will eventually fade into the memory bank and life will go on....Except for The Get Up Kids. ;)

I remember all those promises you made about your life and us but you're not living up to them. "But what do I know?" I haven't forgoten our past and you just don't want to remember it, I thought you would be the one not to forget. Our last night you said goodnight but you meant goodbye and now you're gone and far away. But maybe we could see eachother on holidays (metephorically saying -you ignore me all the time now that we are apart but you could at least give me a fake "hi" and smile on holidays). You're avoiding me because you don't want to admit anything about the past, especially now that theres an opportunity. But even if you did "I wouldnt know where to begin."

emo doesn't mean the music is about a girl, it means it is about relationships, any kind of relationships, which include friendships, not just dating relationships.

i think it may be about his siblings. now he will only see them maybe on holidays. i dont know, it may be about a girl, but i like to think that not ALL songs are about a girl.

but most songs ARe about girls. I think this one is about a girl. Who would say "I know you thought my life would stop with you away." about some guy. that just doesn't sound right. Its about a girl

i'm not sure why, but i seem to get the feeling that (for some unexplained reason) it might be about an adult or someone in the family that's leaving or something... like a father who runs out. but the song itself, if you disregaured the lyrics, sounds pretty upbeat to be a sad, tragic song!

i think this song is about a girl or a family member or friend who lied to him and maybe he won't be wanting to see him or her any day, only in christmas or something... it can also be about someone he loves that lives far away from him...

This song can talk about a relationship where one person feels that the other one will not live without the other one but little do they know that this not true.

this song is probably saying how he is finally seeing a friend or person he has grown so close to after a long period of time. he feels that the person might have forgotten about him and he doesnt know exactly what to say when they finally meet again. great song.

def. my fave get up kids song- i can relate to it with lost friends and friends that went away to college and stuff...and even just how things are changes and i feel that i'm the same
