I find you with red tears in your eyes
I ask you what is your name, you offer no reply
Should I call a doctor for I fear you might be dead?
But I just lay down beside you and held your hand

I fell in love with you
Now you're my one, only you
'Cause all my life I've been so blue
but in that moment you fulfilled me

Now I'll tell all my friends, I fell in love with a dead boy
Now I'll tell my family, I wish you could have met him
Now I write letters to Australia
Now I throw bottles out to seal

I whisper the secret in the ground
No one is gonna take you away from me

I fell in love with a dead boy, oh, such a beautiful boy
I fell in love with a dead boy, oh, such a beautiful boy

Oh, such a beautiful boy
I ask him are you a boy or a girl?
Are you a boy or are you a girl?

No, you're boy or are you a girl?
Are you a boy or are you a girl?

    This song means so much to me. I'm in love with one of my best friends, and for a while, he and I were sort of dating. But he's a very damaged person, and it just causes him too much pain to be in a relationship. He told me he's basically dead inside. I'm also bipolar, so I'm constantly battling depression, and he's one of the only people in the world who makes me feel better. I want to take away the pain from him, and bring him back to life, but I don't know how.

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.

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.
