If this is our last feast
Then I refuse to dine alone
So I let the food go cold

As you left this place
Without saying a word
And my shadow grabbed me
By the feet and grew taller than I am

Hold out your arms
Break me inside
Your embrace
Until they arrive

Hold out your arms
Break me inside
Your embrace
And I'll see you when the time comes

Lips are cracked with the bitter cold
As I walk through the crowds
As I stepped in the road
I was hit with the sound of the passenger screen

And all I could feel
Was the blood in my hands
Running down from my head
As the traffic told me to stop

Hold out your arms
Break me inside
Your embrace
Until they arrive

Hold out your arms
Break me inside
Your embrace
And I'll see you when

Don't waste your words
They could be your last
They could be your last
They could be your last

Don't waste your words

Hold out your arms
Break me inside
Your embrace
Until they arrive

Hold out your arms
Break me inside
Your embrace
And I'll see you when the time comes

    Posted these lyrics but not sure about the title - is known by both 'Hold Out Your Arms' and 'Hold Your Arms Out'...if anyone could give me confirmation on which one I would be stoked!

    Sounds to me like this song is about the 'fear' that Charlie has about your last words to someone will be nasty...there are other meanings behind this song that I havnt undercovered yet but - as i hope you all agree - this song is amazing!

    Well thats my two cents... x

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
