Whispers
Holiday Sidewinder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imagine that you're answering
Answering the questions
That everyone's been asking
Jacket hanging on the door
No one's wearing anymore
Remember who i bought it for
Even if they tell me that i'm never gonna see you again
Only gonna make me listen harder
For your voice in the wind
Ah ha hi
Down by the riverside
I hear something
Makes me believe youre alive
And then nothing
I can feel your fingerprints
On my body evidence
Ultraviolet on my lips
Treasure in a sinking ship
Even if i wanted to i couldnt be the same as before
Every minute longer i just want you back a little bit more
Ah ha hi
Down by the riverside
I hear something
Makes me believe you're alive
And then nothing
And nothings gonna bring you back to me
I'm asking for the river to set me free
Whispers whispers
Always by the rivers
Whispers whispers
Whispersof you
Whispers whispers
Always by the rivers
Whispers whispers
Whispers of you
Down by the riverside
I hear something
Makes me believe you're alive
And then nothing
Down by the waterline
I hear breathing
A supernatural sign
Am i dreaming
Am i dreaming?
Whispers of you

Everytime the phone rings
Whenever the phone rings
Imagine that you're answering
Pretend you're responding to the call
Answering the questions
Providing answers to the inquiries
That everyone's been asking
The things that people have been curious about
Jacket hanging on the door
Coat hanging on the door
No one's wearing anymore
No one is putting it on now
Remember who i bought it for
Recall who I purchased it for
Back when i was 24
When I was still 24 years old
Even if they tell me that i'm never gonna see you again
Even if they say I'll never see you again
Only gonna make me listen harder
It will only make me listen more intently
For your voice in the wind
To hear your voice in the breeze
Ah ha hi
Sounds that signify her feelings
Down by the riverside
Near the riverbank
I hear something
I can hear something
Makes me believe youre alive
Leads me to believe that you are still alive
And then nothing
Followed by silence
I can feel your fingerprints
I sense your fingerprints
On my body evidence
Proof on my body
Ultraviolet on my lips
My lips still have an ultraviolet tint
Treasure in a sinking ship
A valuable thing on a sinking vessel
Even if i wanted to i couldnt be the same as before
Even if I wanted to, I could not be the same as I was before
Every minute longer i just want you back a little bit more
Every passing minute, I miss you a bit more
And nothings gonna bring you back to me
There's nothing that can bring you back to me
I'm asking for the river to set me free
I'm asking the river for liberation
Whispers whispers
Soft spoken words
Always by the rivers
Always next to the river
Whispers of you
Whispers about you
Down by the waterline
Next to the shoreline
I hear breathing
I can hear someone breathing
A supernatural sign
A signal that defies explanation
Am i dreaming
Is this a dream?

It's a crime that more people don't listen to Holiday. I'm calling the cops.
@leland-bobpalmer4274
Wouldn't that spoil the party though? :p + Calling any police these days seems to end in disaster anyway... lol
