I've been changing
You're still waiting on me
Just wait for me

And I am on my own
But it's nice to see you came alone
And this might sound wrong
But I can only tell you through a song
And I will take my time
'Cause it's the only thing that's on my side
And this can't be real
Tell me do you ever feel

Do you ever feel [4x]

Oh I've been changing
You're still waiting on me
I'll never let go, never let go
She said I'll never grow up
Oh yeah I've been changing
You're still waiting on me
I'll never let go, never let go
She said I'll never grow up

Two years now since I met you
And I just can't forget about you
You don't know what you do to me
Oh you don't know what you're doing to me
And baby I'm not lost
I'm just a little confused on what to do
And it's all on me
Oh it's not you, why can't you see?

Do you ever feel [4x]

Oh I've been changing
You're still waiting on me
I'll never let go, never let go
She said I'll never grow up
Oh yeah I've been changing
You're still waiting on me
I'll never let go, never let go
She said I'll never grow up

Oh who are you now?
(Oh who are you now?)
[2x]

This shit is so played out
It's so played out
So played out

Yeah I've been changing
You're still waiting on me
Oh please wait for me

I've been changing
You're still waiting on me
I'll never let go, never let go
She said I'll never grow up

    I think it's about a guy going through a hard time, seeing things for the first time, changing all his past philosophies, and 'discovering himself'. I remember reading somewhere when Alex Gaskarth mentioned that the period when you're finally seeing who you are is a stressful period, and not as graceful as movies may make it seem, cause your change isn't only affecting you, but everyone around you.

    Here, his girlfriend, or just a friend for that matter, is obviously affected by it, seeing as how she says he'll "never grow up," but he responds with "Do you ever feel," as if asking if she has reached that stage yet, or ever felt the same. During that 'phase', a lot of times you feel alone, and you feel like your friends aren't really your friends, etc. Of course, he knows the phase will pass and life will be good again, and hopefully even better, and asks her to wait for him.

    The other theories about relationships fit perfectly too :) I'm just fond of the 'self-discovery-phase' theory, because I think i'm going through that right now, and despite some complications, i've never felt better.

    We Change, We Wait. Genius.

    The Maine ROCKS!

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
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.

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.
