To escape you must've been brave.
It was a frightening case.
Somebody chased you to the same place where your eyes closed.
Say hello to the monster in your home,
Who roams around when he thinks that he's alone.
It's a dream.
But no one can hear you scream.
No one can hear you.
You're not blind- there's a star in the sky.

But oh, you'll be standing by my side.

On the street wires walk with me.
Position me to where I can follow your lead.
You say I never leave.
I've been everywhere.
I've weaved through parking lots, dodging speeding cars and shopping carts.
Say goodnight to the contents of your room.
Trim the lights for the trimming of the moon.
Your bed, it's a shoulder for your head or a helicopter pad.

Do you see out of the corner of your eye that I'm standing by your side?

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.
