Holiday
Healy Fran Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have nothing to do
To do to do to do to do
And I want to do it with you
With you and no-one else will be beside me
Ah it will be sweet
We dream of gold we dream of green
And ah
Our love is for losers

Don't be fooled 'cause you could do without me

I think I need a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away

I have nothing to say
To say to say to say to say
But I try to say it with love
So you can say it back but wires got crossed
Split broken in two
Your eyes are black
My eyes are blue
And ah
O this is the part where we say things
That we can never take back

I think I need a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away
What have we done
What have we done
What have we done
What have we done
Everyone needs a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away
I think I need a holiday
Another time another place
To disappear without a trace
When I return throw me away

Throw me away
Throw me away
