You were born in winter
But summer came too fast
Like a child you can't control
Now isn't it obvious?
That you still value his word
Now that it's not there
A lovelife down the drain--now isn't it obvious?
Some people hide their emotions
Some people show too much
I'm aiming for somewhere central
Now isn't it obvious?

He changed his look for you
You changed your life for him
Now, was the verdict worth the trial?

Did we go too far? Is that why your nose is bleeding?
Last night I dreamt we kissed on a bench in the evening

What went wrong with you?
I never took you for a fool

But all it takes is a rumour
Now isn't it obvious?
I'd love to clear the air,
But I can't bear to hear your voice
It's tainted with his name--now isn't it obvious?

He changed his look for you
You changed your life for him
Now, was the verdict worth the trial?

Did we go too far? Is that why your nose is bleeding?
Last night I dreamt we kissed on a bench in the evening

Did we go too far? Is that why your nose is bleeding?
Last night I dreamt we kissed on a bench in the evening

I was the one who followed
And you were the one who was leading
When last night I dreamt that we kissed
On a bench in the evening

    I think this song is about a girl and her indecisivness, going from the singer to the other guy.

    "You still value his word Now that it's not there"

    He's saying that even though she broke up with him, she still cares about what he thinks. So she still has feelings for the ex.

    "He changed his look for you But you changed your life for him"

    I think he means that the ex guy tried to get the girl back, and in the end she went. And then he asks, "Now was the verdict worth the trial?" So pretty much he's asking, "Was making him change himself worth it to get you back?"

    "I'd love to clear the air But I can't bear to hear your voice It's tainted with his name"

    He'd like to ask her what happened but he's so disgusted/saddened with the whole situation.

    I think the nosebleed thing is from the girl's constant change in "altitude" going from the ex(high altitude) to low(the singer) which usually causes nosebleeds.

    Awesome song, no matter what it means.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
