if you seek pleasure in pain and comfort in the rain and having an open heart
and you can't sit through a class, you're head is half up in the clouds
half up your ass

if dark days and bright nights make your world turn
throw a finger up, light it up and let it burn
you may be lonely but you're not alone

if your tears come out like kidney stones
stand up proud
we're screaming even if its not out loud
complicate the world
we're an army of Cusack boys and molly Ringwald girls

you don't speak words you exhale them
keep them locked inside, you fail them
old habits die hard, but their corpses always stay to haunt you
when starlight burns bright in the black sky
we'll be driving out, screaming towards the overpass

rocking in, rocking out to the radio
roll your windows down
bump that Manilow
in every school in every home there is another sap like you
we're in the park looking up at the stars with nothing else to do
one day you'll me another one and you'll kicked out of our club; we never win in love

and we are the one who never see why growing up has got to be like war
it's touchy feely but its true: there's a loser in the same position
standing next to you

starlight burns bright in the black sky
we do what we want.

    Everyone's the same. And everyone's gotta get over that.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran

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.

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.
