Story behind the song
Most people at some point in their lives have a certain person who they care about and enjoy the company of but don't want the comittment with. Sometimes you just want to meet up with that person and be their "holiday" for a night....or two!
Lyrics
REMEBER ALL THE DAYS THAT
WE SPENT LONGING FOR THE FALL
WE WASTED ALL OUR TIME ON HURT
IT LEFT OUR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL
BUT THEN YOU OPENED UP YOUR EYES
AND MADE YOUR WAY ON OUT THE DOOR
IT WAS LATER ON IN LIFE THAT I KNEW
WHAT YOU DID THAT FOR
I USED TO CRY AT NIGHT
TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND
OH JUST WHY I TRY TO SEE YOU NOW AND THEN
(CHORUS)
WHEN YOU COME AROUND I WANT TO BE YOUR HOLIDAY
I WANT TO HAVE A DRINK AND LAUGH WITH YOU
AND BE YOUR GET AWAY I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU
WOULD BE GONE I REALLY DON'T NEED YOU TO STAY
I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR HOLIDAY
I TOLD YOU YEARS AGO
AS WE DROVE TO CESARS HEAD
I PLAYED A DISC OF THUNDER ROAD
AND LET THE FULL MOON DO THE REST
I NEVER FELT THAT WAY BEFORE
I'LL NEVER FEEL THAT WAY AGAIN
WE WERE YOUNG AND SO IN LOVE
I DID NOT WANT IT TO END
I USED TO TRY SOMETIMES TO CAPTURE
HOW I FELT ON THAT NIGHT MOON LIGHT
NOTHING NO ONE ELSE
(CHORUS)
WHEN YOU COME AROUND I WANT TO BE YOUR HOLIDAY
I WANT TO HAVE A DRINK AND LAUGH WITH YOU
AND BE YOUR GET AWAY I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU
WOULD BE GONE I REALLY DON'T NEED YOU TO STAY
I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR HOLIDAY
LOOKING BACK I LAUGH ON HOW WE WALKED AWAY
BUT I STILL RELY ON YOUR EYES COME EVERY HOLIDAY
(CHORUS)
WHEN YOU COME AROUND I WANT TO BE YOUR HOLIDAY
I WANT TO WRAP MYSELF INSIDE OF YOU AND BE YOUR GET AWAY
AND BE YOUR GET AWAY I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU
WOULD BE GONE I REALLY DON'T NEED YOU TO STAY
I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR HOLIDAY
