Baby, say
What's on your mind
What's on your mind

I've been here all mornin' waitin'
For your answer, I'm waitin'
I've been sober long enough to remember
How good love is, how sweet your love is

Notwithstanding my crime
Say, yeah you remember
How good love can be baby
Say, yeah you'll never lose
Your faith in me baby, yeah

Ooh, yeah

You fall to pieces
And I destroy what we have
Is this how our story will end baby?
I can't live for tomorrow and I surrender today
With all of its heartache, all it's pain
Baby, baby, love of mine

Say, yeah you remember
How good love can be, baby
Say, yeah you'll never lose
Your faith in me, baby, yeah
Say, you'll never leave me
Here in the dark, oh, baby

Say, but don't walk away, yeah
Don't leave me here
'Cause' I don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna stay here

Girl say, say what's on your mind
Don't walk away
Leave me hangin' on, baby
Say, you'll never leave me hear
In the dark baby, baby, baby, baby

Please send me your love
I wanna hear what you have to say baby
Say, what's on your mind, yeah, baby
Say that I still hold my place in your heart baby

Say what's on your mind baby
Say what's on your mind baby
Oh, yeah, say

    I made an account just for this song... this song is one of the most amazing songs i have ever heard i love it... i think hes talking about a relationship that he messed up by being into other things but now hes realizing that he needs her. Hes begging/asking her to remember what they used to be, and for her to not give up on them that easily.... "say you remember how good love can be"

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
