it's been so long
can i have a minute of your time
this won't take long
to let you know where i stand
where i am

cause it's been seven long full months
since i could hold your hands
it's okay
i understand

you say that i'm in love
would that be too much?
and you said these thoughts would fade away
but knowing this
waiting takes so long

this time tell me more than you know
and i still seem to notice
when you're here, when you're there
for some reason i care

cause it's been seven long full months
since i could ask you about your day
and know that i would be the first to hear you say

you say that i'm in love
would that bring too much?
you said these thoughts would fade away
but knowing this
waiting takes so long

you say that i'm in love
would that bring too much?
you said these thoughts would fade away
but knowing this
patience brings us change (??)

you say that i'm in love
would that bring too much?
you said these thoughts would fade away
but knowing this
patience brings us change

    This is pretty wierd. I just heard this song for the first time today, and it's been seven months to the date since I've seen my ex. Great song, and Letter Kills is awesome!

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
