In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
My girl's like candy, a candy treat
She knocks me high up off my feet
She's so fine as can be
I know this girl is just for me
Candy Girl
You are my world
You look so sweet
You're a special treat
Candy girl
All I want to say
When you're with me
You brighten up my day
All I know
When I'm with you
You make me feel so good
Through and through
The way you walk
And the way you talk
You always look so good
You make me forget my thoughts
Do you really love me? (do you really love me?)
Don't you really care? (don't you really care?)
Do you really need me? (do you really need me?)
And will you always be there?
Every night
And every day
I'm always thinking of you
In every way
All I know
When I'm with you
You make me feel so good
Through and through
Candy girl
You are my world
You're everything, everything
Everything to me
Candy girl
All I want to say
I need your love
Each and everyday
Hey fellas
What?
Check out Mike and Bobby's little lady
Ooh eeh
Well, check out Ricky and Ralph's
Ooh eeh
What about Ronnie's?
She's bad, she's bad
I know she's bad
She walks so fast, she looks so sweet
She makes my heart just skip a beat
My girl's the best and that's no lie
She tells me that I'm her only guy
That might be true but my girl's a joy
She don't play around, she's right to the point
My girl's like candy, a candy treat
She knocks me high up off my feet
Oh candy
You look so sweet
Oh candy
You're a special treat
Candy (you're my candy)
Candy girl (candy)
Candy (you're my candy)
Candy girl (candy)
Candy girl
You are my world
I need your love
Each and everyday
Candy girl
All I want to say
You're everything, everything
Everything to me
Candy girl
You are my world
I need your love
Each and everyday
Candy girl
I need it, need it, need it, need it, need it everyday
Candy girl
She knocks me high up off my feet
She's so fine as can be
I know this girl is just for me
Candy Girl
You are my world
You look so sweet
You're a special treat
Candy girl
All I want to say
When you're with me
You brighten up my day
All I know
When I'm with you
You make me feel so good
Through and through
The way you walk
And the way you talk
You always look so good
You make me forget my thoughts
Do you really love me? (do you really love me?)
Don't you really care? (don't you really care?)
Do you really need me? (do you really need me?)
And will you always be there?
Every night
And every day

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Love this song, especially in Dogma.
