i watch you sleep at night
wrapped in my blanket so tight
i'd sing this to you

i'm sorry that i've written
all these songs about you
i'm sorry that i haven't
told you the whole truth

i'm sorry for times when
i took advantage and made you cry
i guess you'll never know
how much of you i really like

i ask myself, everytime,
if you would someday be mine
and everyday, when will i say,
"i like you" to your face?

i'll loosen my collar,
practice this once more tonight
how i feel,
just seems so right.

i ask myself, everytime,
if you would someday be mine
and everyday, when will i say,
"i like you" to your face?

can we still be friends?
will you talk to me again?
i'm sorry, i like you
(i'm sorry)

i'm sorry, i like you...

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
