Sitting here wide awake
Thinking about when I last saw you
I know you're not far away
Close my eyes and I still see you
Lying here next to me
Wearing nothing but a smile

I gotta leave right away
Counting cracks along the pavement
To see you face to face
Thinking about the conversation
I know I'm not one to change
I've never wanted nothing more
But as I walk up to your door

I'm standing in the dark
She's dancing on the table
Looking through the glass
She's someone else's angel
It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back
But I'm wanting you back, girl
And now I'm standing in the dark dark
Oh dark dark

All I wanna do is hide
But I can't stop myself from staring
Wishing his hands were mine
I can't stop myself from caring
And as he turns down the lights
I'm feeling paralysed
And as he looks into her eyes

I'm standing in the dark
She's dancing on the table
Looking through the glass
She's someone else's angel
It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back
But I'm wanting you back, girl
And now I'm standing in the dark, dark
Oh dark dark, oh dark dark, oh dark dark

Standing in the dark
I'm standing in the dark

I'm standing in the dark
She's dancing on the table
Looking through the glass
She's someone else's angel
It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back
But I'm wanting you back, girl
And now I'm standing in the dark dark
Oh dark dark, oh dark dark
She's someone else's angel
She's someone else's angel

    Its been years after he and his girlfriend has broken up and he misses her but when he tries to go see her and talk to her again, she's already moved on. He's never stopped loving her, but he's too late and now he is left alone in the darkness having to live with his mistake as he watches her live her life happily without him

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
