We used to be healthy, we used to get on
Had none of these worries or thought that we were wrong
Life wasn't easy but living it was
Now we are better, so much better because

We turned round our bed, it faces the window
We took down the curtains, replaced them with blinds
From primary colours and au natural
Art deco to rustic, for some peace of mind, how

Near far high low high low near far
They find you they find you they find you
And when they come they hug and hold you
Kiss your cheek and touch your hand
Remind you remind you remind you

We're watching our weight and watching our hairline
Burning it off and spraying it on
Firve portions of fruit and veg and flotation tanks
Are keeping us balanced, and keeping us strong

So where would we be without pilates
Feng shui and breathing and organic bread
Manic attacks and panic depression
Missing the point as it goes over our heads how

Near far high low high low near far
They find you they find you they find you
And when they come they hug and hold you
Kiss your cheek and touch your hand
Remind you remind you remind you

To take a glimpse at the good life
A look at what we could have
A look at we are missing
Because we're living it so bad

Remind you remind you remind you

To take a glimpse at the good life
A look at what could have
A look what we are missing
Because we're living it living so bad
And take a glimpse at the good life
A look at what we could have
A look at what we are missing
Because we're living it living so bad

    its about the fact that peoples lives are passing them by, without a care in the world that one day theyre gonna die. and others are trying all different things to live longer.

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.

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.
