There's a corner of your heart for me
There's a corner of your heart just for me
I will pack my bags just to stay in the corner of your heart
Just to stay in the corner of your heart

There is room beneath your bed for me
There is room beneath your bed just for me
I will leave this town just to sleep underneath your bed
Just to sleep underneath your bed

There's one minute of your day
There's one minute of your day
There's one minute of your day
I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day
Just to occupy one minute of your day

Just to sleep underneath your bed

Just to stay in the corner of you heart

    The song is about a woman who is having an affair. Unfortunately though the man she's having an affair with doesn't love her but she is so infatuated that she doesn't care. She's willing to pack her bags, leave her man, and leave town just to be with him.

    she has such a sweet voice. kind of reminds me of gregory and the hawk a bit? but theres always at least one comment on every song saying OMG. THIS SONG IS TOTALLY HOW I FEEL. and im sorry to say, but i will be this comment. theres a boy, who live far far away from me. and i just love him. nothing more to it. and i cant do anything about it, im dating another boy who i mean, i like. but no one will ever compare. no one.

    beautiful. this girl will do anything just to be apart of this person's life, even if its a small part (such as a corner). She says "there is room beneath your bed" which indicates a desparity, and longing for love. Again, beautiful song.

    I downloaded all songs from Grey's, I don't even watch the show, but they sure have some damn good music. And this is one of their best songs. Ingrid has such a beautiful voice and lyrics. She just tells things the way they are - she would give everything up in return for an insignificant gesture or a "corner in [his] heart". Unfortunately that's how many people feel when they're truly in love and it's often the reason for a great deal of pain when you find out the one you'd risk everything for wouldn't do it for you. Another great one, Ingrid.

    Yeah sure it can be about an affair and romantic love and all that, but to me this song is all about my best friend, female. Nothing romantic or sexual, I just love her so so much. If we go without properly seeing or speaking for a few days, I start missing her but it's ok cause I can text her to meet me on our usual spot, and she'll come and we'll smoke cigarettes and talk about everything that happened. There's one minute of her day just for me. And "I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day" because she's more important than them.

    So I don't find this song very sad or heartbreaking, cause I know that she also knows that there's room underneath my bed for her. Beautiful nonetheless.

    heard it on Grey's Anatomy and loved it. So sweet, so unassuming. Love from a distance.

    The first time I heard it I thought it was building up to something... Kinda sad that it didn't. Still a great song though!

    Ingrid Michaelson most definitely does not get enough credit for her career. She writes amazing lyrics. This song is lovely.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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.

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.
