Tell me something that I know
Just something that I understand
I need to taste the warming glow
Of your medicating hands
I know I'm ready for your love
I just don't understand it
There is a silent pact of trust
That I never could admit
That I never could

So now I'm telling you the reason I'm all messed up,
Just have to look me in the eyes and I fall apart
Please let me hold you til I know we're both through this
I couldn't lead another day without you here in my arms

You look so fragile I could break
But I try to hold myself
Together for the both of us
But in truth I'm just as scared
I just wanna watch you sleep
As you lie here beside me
So close your eyes, I'll guard the door
And when you wake you'll wake with me
And when you wake you'll

So now I'm telling you the reason I'm all messed up
just have to look me in the eye and I fall apart
Please let me hold you til I know we're both through this
I couldn't lead another day without you here in my arms

[Repeat x3]

In my arms

[Repeat to fade]

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.
