This song is not about you,
it's not about me.
It's about the blood on the blade stabbed into the back of somebody
Somebody is someone who is stable,
but still remains unable to really be himself,
because if he were he then,
she would be with somebody and not someone else.

This song is not about me and the battles that I've won,
It's about the warped kitchen floor from the water left on the run,
and the pile of dirty dishes that is never done,
and the ashes in the sink floating in the water,
somebody doesn't wanna have to but somebody oughta,

Lay down the law
Don't change your style
Lead on to leave
Baby come on back for awhile

This song is a survey of scenes somebody sees masked with melodies,
There's no way to let go, no way to forget, there is no way to grow,
Just the room to regret .
She holds him back confined to this space,
But she holds somebody in the first place.

Lay down the law
Don't change your style
Lead on to leave
Baby come on back for awhile

Somebody is stranded light years from home,
on a planet where people are not like his own,
where they pay to be brainwashed and told what to see,
and not many dare question authority.
Where a sick television is coughing up blood and
it stains every life and it's starting to flood,
fills the holes in our brains as it pours from the screens,
and it stains the newspapers and magazines.

Lay down the law
Don't change your style
Lead on to leave
Baby come on back for awhile

    well it's on his solo album... so it can probably rightly be counted as a 3 or Joey Eppard song

Holiday

@[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.

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.
