I've picked up these pieces for the last time again
I won't call anymore
And I'll try to start eating again
But I like the way the pain makes me look
My friends said you were just playing games
I never wanted to believe them
The thought of you and these things you do is driving me insane
Did you honestly think I could do that?

I'd rather drive my car off a fucking cliff
All I think about now are the times I miss
And the memories you're making with somebody else
Those words were enough to make me sick
So I drink, I drink to forget about it
But the pain in my stomach stays with me all the time

The music that I listen to
Doesn't help at all
But it feels like the only thing that keeps me here anymore
Is that sad hope that you will come around
And it's funny how everything goes full circle
I hear The Get Up Kids might be breaking up
Sleep with my memories
Pictures, apologies

But I think I'm gonna drive off a fucking cliff
All I think about now are the times I miss
And the memories you're making with somebody else
Those words were enough to make me sick
So I drink, I drink to forget about it
But the pain in my stomach stays with me all the time

These relationships are the devils playground
I'm better off beating my head off a wall until I bleed
Take a picture and caption it "remember this"

I'm gonna drive my car off a fucking cliff
All I think about now are the times I miss
And the memories you're making with somebody else
Those words were enough to make me sick
So I drink, I drink to forget about it
But the pain in my stomach stays with me all the time

Take a picture and caption it "Remember this"
Take a picture and caption it "Remember this"
Take a picture and caption it "Remember this"
Take a picture and caption it "Remember this"

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
