Be good so we're all by ourselves
The great big holidays about to begin
A thousand miles after from where it all begins

Oh world, the whole world is

Going on and on, back in to the touch
It's moving on again
Going on and on

What's next?
I'm out of time
Losing my touch I can feel
Speak for me; you'll see the same signs
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All now it's all for now, all for one.
What you want?

Big ol' south of a liner
Stranded and strange just as innocence gets
I'm not leaving out they are trying to forget.
The whole world, the whole world is

Going on and on
Back in to the touch, it's moving on again
Going on and on

What's next?
I'm out of time.
Losing my touch I can feel
Speak for me; you'll see the same signs
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All now it's all for now, all for one.
What you want?

Going on and on

    Intense and powerful lyrics and yes the correct lyrics are those that "blanksky" has posted. This songs speaks from the perspective of a spouse thats being abused by her partner. The song itself seems to me as a testimonial from the abused, dissillusioned and passionate, with the difficulties of letting go and realizing whats actually happening while being blinded by how it used to be and the love that was once there.

    Very great song.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
