This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Silence shattered like it's glass
My world was captured like a photograph
When I saw you
Eyes of oceans pulled me in
The rip tide was strong
And 'though I fought it for a second or two
You stole me with a glance and it was done
I was overcome by you...
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'cause every night and every day
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome?
The Moments happen then they pass
But my obsession doesn't go that fast
Who are you and do I ever cross your mind?
Find me alone and kiss me softly as I wake to truth
My sleep is dead, my life has just begun
I am overcome by you...
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'cause every night and every day
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome?
How could I come so close?
What if I could spin the world like Superman
And would the moment go?
Fast enough to fly me back to you again
I shoud have let it show
I would grab a hold and not let go
Oh, and kiss me softly as I wake to truth
My sleep is dead, my life has just begun
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'cause every night and every day
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome?
My world was captured like a photograph
When I saw you
Eyes of oceans pulled me in
The rip tide was strong
And 'though I fought it for a second or two
You stole me with a glance and it was done
I was overcome by you...
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'cause every night and every day
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome?
The Moments happen then they pass
But my obsession doesn't go that fast
Who are you and do I ever cross your mind?
Find me alone and kiss me softly as I wake to truth
My sleep is dead, my life has just begun
I am overcome by you...
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'cause every night and every day
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome?
How could I come so close?
What if I could spin the world like Superman
And would the moment go?
Fast enough to fly me back to you again
I shoud have let it show
I would grab a hold and not let go
Oh, and kiss me softly as I wake to truth
My sleep is dead, my life has just begun
Breathe me in and breathe me out
Crave and desire what I yearn for
Pray that I might feel the same
'cause every night and every day
I wait for you
Looking for someone I almost knew
Why do I run, overcome?

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this sounds like a vanessa carlton song with the piano.
Excellent hook, though.
