This is really only all we have (bury all of me)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (before I have a chance)
Coldest eyes, and the softest touch (To open my eyes)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (and see you laughing)
These typed letters
Beneath me (is this all we have?)
Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Or is this all just twilight)
And maybe things will turn out fine (beyond the skyline blinding me?)

Hide behind your crystal screen
And blow kisses at me
Just remember, what we said wouldn't happen, go
Write your name on my chest in kerosene
Spark a match, and you
Won't be cold again

This is really only all we have
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light
Coldest eyes
You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch
Daytime, twilight, twilight, light (twilight)

Gag and destroy me
Gag and destroy me

I have a (sorry I didn't hear you)
Collection of thunder that I stole (I was busy dying in the corner)
Thunder, that I stole (those three words)
From your windowsill (destroyed every inch of me and, yet you keep speaking)
Stole right from your windowsill (ahh)

    Lyric Correction

    I'm surprised at the lack of Dallas' amazing lyrics. I know it's hard to decipher because of his slurring, but I was one of the first few people to listen attentively and help the AoF message board decipher Dallas' lyrics together. Originally, Dallas' lyrics were just posted below George's, but to my gratitude, an updated version where it's Dallas AND George lyrics in the same lyric sequence has been made and here it is.

    This is really only all we have: (Bury all of me) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. (Before I have a chance) Coldest eyes, and the softest touch. (To open my eyes and see you laughing.) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. These typed letters. (Is this all we have?) Beneath me. (Or is this all just twilight beyond the skyline) Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Blinding me) And maybe things will... turn out fine.

    Hide behind your crystal screen And blow kisses at me. (Remember what we said wouldn't happen?) Go. Write your name on my chest in kerosene. Spark a match, and you won't be cold again.

    This is really only all we have: Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light.

    Coldest eyes. You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch.

    Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Light!

    Gag and... destroy me. Gag and... destroy me.

    (Sorry I didn't hear you) I have a (I was busy dying in the corner) Collection of thunder that I stole (Those three words) I stole. That I stole. (Destroyed every inch of me yet you keep...) From your windowsill. (...Speaking) Stole... right through your windowsill.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
