Sometimes I don't get you
It's like I understand
All I do is a waste
And the look on your face
??
And I'm feeling myself make it be
Together was one happily...
Sometimes I don't get you
??

Sometimes I don't know you
It's like we never met
And what seems fine by me
Is your littany of regrets
Am I'm clinging to something that's passed
That was never intended to last
Sometimes I don't know you
Lessons with my ??

Sometimes I think I don't know
How to be on my own
Sometimes I won't answer the door
Or talk on the phone
With you by my side
I don't have to mind
???
So that it can continue to grow

???
So that it can continue to grow

Sometimes I don't get you
It's like I'm lost at sea
Then you say you're okay
And I know that you'll stay with me
Oh it never comes soon enough
We'll get through the difficult stuff
??
I'll be there for you
And maybe I'll get you
And you'll get me

    Well, I don't have anything to add yet, but I think "I don't have to mind" is actually "I don't have to hide".

    In the last verse "We'll get through the difficult stuff", then the ?? = "No matter we'll be two" (I think).....

    I figured it was more like "No matter what we do"?

    Yup, I think you're right, "No matter what we do".

    However, the repeated part is "This twig needs a trunk", So that it can continue to grow.

    the "Lessons with my ??" is really "messes with my head"

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.
