How do you sleep at night father,
with what you've done to me?
How do you make it through the day,
Knowing your dead in me?

City lights can't be the answer,
(some day, some way)
Broken hearted, filled with anger,
(father, too late)
Hiding out but now its over,
(walking, no way)
Dead inside wont get much better,
(some day, some way)

And try to justify,
All the things we have inside,
(You never will...)
And try to comprehend,
All the things I have in mind,
(you never will...)

Those morselin it has never been,
So tempting as it is right now,
My mind devours thoughts of you,
To Justify the pain inside,
And dont you think it hurts me?
When I think about the past,
And how I realize im empty,
"'ll be there" is what you told me dad,

I waited as a child,
I waited 19 years,
I've looked outside the window,
To see if you were getting here,
I said "Mother don't worry,
Ill take my fathers place,
I'll be the man I should be,
I'll put a smile upon your face,"

Ill try to justify,
All the things you have inside,
(You never will...)
And try to comprehend,
All the things I have in mind,
(you never will...)

Cause morselin has never been,
So Tempting as it is right now,
My mind devours thoughts of you,
To Justify the pain inside
And dont you think it hurts me,
When I think about past?
And how I realize im empty,
"I'll be there" is what you told me dad,

I waited as a child,
I waited 19 years,
I've looked outside the window,
To see if u were getting here,
I said "Mother don't worry,
Ill take my fathers place,
I'll be the man I should be,
I'll put a smile upon your face."

Ill try to justify,
All the things you hide inside,
(You never will...)
And try to comprehend,
All the things I have in mind,
(you never will...)

And try to understand,
All the things we have inside,
(You never will...)

Cause morselin has never been,
So Tempting as it is right now,
My mind devours thoughts of you
To Justify the pain inside
And dont you think it hurts me,
When I think about past?
And how I realize im empty,
"I'll be there" is what you told me dad,

I've waited as a child,
I've waited 19 years,
I've looked outside the window,
To see if you were getting here,
I said "Mother don't worry,
I'll take my fathers place,
I'll be the man I should be,
I'll put a smile upon your face."

Upon Your Face
Upon Your Face
Upon Your Face
You Never Will
You Never Will
You Never Will
You Never Will
You Never Will
You Never Will
You Never Will
You Never Will

    Yea. This is from first to last. I think it's when they were going from first too last to from first to last. It's Matt singing but the rest in a blur to me. The meaning's kind of simple. His father left them and he always expected him to come back but he never did and now he hates him for it. That's what I think anyways. I love Matt's voice so muchhhh. FUcking pretty also =)

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

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.

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.
