"take it or leave it"
where the words you chose over mine
so much reminds me of you, and i miss your smile
10:01 and this night is gone
i spent it ill while the world moves on
if time alone were the brush that paints
with solace and misfortunate
my life would be a work of art

and ive seen this all before
things shouldnt have gone this far
we shouldnt have gotten so close
but what made me believe?
was it the girl who made him forget all hes known
every time he looked into her eyes?
or was it the boy who
decided to give up his heart
and run away?
today is gone, tomorrow is mine, but im still alone

keep breathing, keep dreaming
and keep singing for you
bleeding out so much more
spilling blood since youve left
if i had a second chance
id live a life waiting to death
so i walk to the store
i spent a buck fifty in quarters
to buy the ring you said you liked
cause im thinking of you now

now i drive to the coast
the place where i drown all my fears
let the water set me free
im screaming can you hear?
or is this the end of everything i loved?
are we destined for more?
why cant you look me in the eyes
and tell me what you want to?
i know you want to so bad, so bad

but ive seen this all before
things shouldnt have gone this far
we shouldnt have gotten so close
what made me believe?
it was you who made me forget all that ive known
every time i looked into your eyes
and it was me who decided to give up my heart and run away
today is gone, tomorrow is mine, but im still alone

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.

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.
