This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I can't believe summer's almost here
I made it through another year even if alone
But there's no tears in my eyes, life is still full of surprise
I'm not looking for a one night stand
I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
Wishing you could be the one but not here this way
I got to know your name
I must know who you are, yeah
I look at you and I know who you are
You're just a little bit too far from my home
But please don't get me wrong even though it has been long
I hope I never sing my last song without someone
I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
Wishing you could be the one but not here this way
I got to know your name
And I must know who you are, yeah
I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
I'm wishing you could be the one but not here this way
I'd like to know your name
And I must know who you are, yeah
I made it through another year even if alone
But there's no tears in my eyes, life is still full of surprise
I'm not looking for a one night stand
I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
Wishing you could be the one but not here this way
I got to know your name
I must know who you are, yeah
I look at you and I know who you are
You're just a little bit too far from my home
But please don't get me wrong even though it has been long
I hope I never sing my last song without someone
I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
Wishing you could be the one but not here this way
I got to know your name
And I must know who you are, yeah
I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
I'm wishing you could be the one but not here this way
I'd like to know your name
And I must know who you are, yeah

@[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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Should rank as one of the best songs ever by one of the best bands ever!
I AGREE!!!
Great song with lyrics that speak of the narrator's wish for true love. Considering that many of Doug Pinnick's songs would touch on this topic (Pretend; Lover; Looking For Love; etc) one would think he wrote this song (he sings it as well); but it was actually Ty Tabor who penned this one. It reflects an attitude not found in many rock songs - these guys are not out for one night stands and wild sex - they want long-lasting relationships. But the song does not deny the temptation is there ("I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away...")
Given that Tabor and Gaskill come from a Christian Rock background, and that the album title is a direct reference to Christian author CS Lewis, I believe these lines refer to Jesus:
"I'd like to know your name and I must know who you are Yeah I look at you and I know who you are you're just a little bit too far from my home"
It's Ty's song about a lonesome non-believer coming to faith. It's also one of the best King's X songs by far.
@gregorik According to the "King's X Oral History" book, the band claims that Ty wrote this before he got married.. it's literally a song about meeting a pretty girl and being tongue-tied, not knowing what to do.
Gregorik, I agree entirely.
