Holiday
The Subways [YOUNG FOR ETERNITY 2005] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think it's time that I went on a holiday
I think it's time that my mind should take a break
I take the things that my friends say I should take
I think it's time that I went on a holiday

I know that you will be the one
Who leads me right into the sun
Run away, run away far from here
Run away, run away far from here

I think it's time that I went on a holiday
I listen to the people the people who try to fake
They all say that they need a holiday
I think it's time that we went on a holiday

I know that you will be the one
Who leads me right into the sun
Run away, run away far from here
Run away, run away far from here





Yeah Yeah!
