Holly Anders

Liner Notes

Lyrics

holly anders keep your head up i know they're hard to please you exhaust yourself now they want something else a perfect girl is all they see

and it's been eating at you hiding the truth

your little secret you couldn't keep it after all you knew she was the one so you sat them down on your old brown couch then you dropped the bomb

you didn't know that that it'd be this bad now they're yelling words that make you bleed holly anders they're just pretenders and you're the realest one i've ever seen

so holly anders slept in a camper far away from home you're with your girlfriend parked by a riverbend she tells you "we're on our own"

"just the two of us now traveling around"

they hit the road again holly and madeleine it's the most fun that you've ever had but every exit you get more desperate you get thinking about your mom and dad

you didn't know that that it'd be this bad you start to see them crying in your dreams holly anders they're just pretenders and you're the realest one i've ever seen

holly anders you have the answer you can leave them if you please but if you miss them you can forgive them but they must give an apology

you didn't know that that it'd be this bad waiting for a word or anything holly anders they're just pretenders and you're the realest one i've ever seen

The piano lends itself to more complex, richer chords [than guitar]. You took advantage of that.

I also heard some cool, out of key chords. I liked the surprise.

The story is also interesting - it's messy, a bit unresolved - small conflicts on several levels.
