Holiday Lyrics - Boys Like Girls - Boys Like Girls

When I was younger I used to be wild 

As wild as an elephant's child 

No one could hold me down 

No one could keep me around 

Now it's your turn, take a shot 

Baby, show me everything that you got 

Maybe you can keep me alive 

Maybe you can get in my mind 

But it's only a matter of time 

Before I run far away 

I need to take a holiday 

Maybe it's a fall from grace 

I gotta find a new place 

A holiday 

I'll set off on a new chase 

I gotta see a new face 

I need to take a holiday 

My father, he was always wise 

As wise as an elephant's eyes 

He couldn't hold me down 

He couldn't keep me around 

So are you gonna take your shot? 

It's the only one that you got 

Maybe I'll go out on a limb 

Maybe I'll jump in for a swim 

When the lights go dim 

You know, I'll run far away 

I need to take a holiday 

Maybe it's a fall from grace 

I gotta find a new place 

A holiday 

I'll set off on a new chase 

I gotta see a new face 

I need to take a holiday 

(Need to take a holiday) 

A new start, I've broken too many hearts 

And I don't have any clue where to go 

I don't know but maybe I'll be back 

Someday after my holiday 

When I was younger I used to be wild 

As wild as an elephant's child 

And I don't think I'll ever change 

I think I'm gonna stay the same 

I'll run away 

I need to take a holiday 

(Need to take a holiday) 

Maybe, it's a fall from grace 

I gotta find a new place 

A holiday 

I'll set off on a new chase 

(Set off on a new chase) 

I gotta see a new face 

I need to take a holiday 

A new start, I've broken too many hearts 

And I don't have any clue where to go 

I don't know but maybe I'll be back 

Someday after my holiday 

All of the wasted time 

The hours that were left behind 

The answers that we'll never find 

They don't mean a thing tonight
