Nothing can revive in me
What it's like
To share the present tense
With you
Oh my love, too late
I can't sleep
Put the phone to your chest and
Let me hear your heart beat
And let it sing the song where you loved me
A fiction or not let it lull me to sleep

Your love's a four letter lie

Change my heart, and change my
name
Mold my face into a pretty shape
I have become everything that I hate
Cause I'm nothing you want

Oh, your love's a four letter lie

Those cigarettes don't suit you,
Does their smoke fill the gaps in your heart?

Oh, your love's a four letter lie.

    Re: Reply Yes I was at the first show that they ever played this live beck before they signed to Equal Vision and back when Matthew the worlds most amazing singer ever was their lead vocals/keyboard. Oh and yeah he introduced it as, "So I just wrote this song the other night and I was hoping you guys could sing it with me, but don't worry the chorus is easy. You'll figure it out when you hear it."

    That night was oh so amazing yes it truly was =]

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
