You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather

You want everything to be just like
(You want everything to be just like)
The stories that you read, but never write
(The stories that you read, but never write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned

We wrote our names down on the sidewalk
But the rain came and washed them off
So we should write them again on wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant

You want every morning to be just like
(You want every morning to be just like)
The stories that you read, but never write
(The stories that you read, but never write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
I'm only concerned

I'm adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to your picture
A different ending to this fairytale
And no sunset into which we sail

You want every morning to be just like
(You want every morning to be just like)
The stories that you read, but you can't write
(You can't write)
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
