hey lonely girl
living in your spinning world
can you hear me
singing out so clearly?
i know my voice is small
chances are it can't go that far
but i've got a feeling
you can sense these six strings ringing
they're calling out your name
telling you it's gonna be okay
just keep on walking towards that sweet, sweet sunshine
it's gonna dry your tears
and after moving for 28 years
you're getting closer to the life you've always wanted.

anyway, i'm doing fine
i've been a busy bee,
been writing on the side
i've got this one tale
that i'd love for you to read
in chapter two the readers introduced to a girl like you
she lives way up in a tree
next to a king sorta like me
and every morning when he hears her coo
he climbs out to his roof
with a cup of honey
and a smile full of shiners
he's got it inside his head
if he's patient then the branch will stretch
and she'll come hopping down
right onto his crooked crown.

when he lowers her to his eye
they breathe each others air until their lungs get tired
it creates a melody
that gently kisses everything
and when the chorus passed
they both take a bow
and all the animals clap
she stretches out her wings
and says "i'll see you next spring".
not too sure about the end
if they get married or just stay friends
but whatever happens
he's just happy she found him

sorry birdie, gotta cut this short
i think she wants to play
she's scratching at my door
just know we miss ya
signed,
xoxo, panda.

    i think its his past gf and she moves alot, and he misses her so he wrote a story about animals representing them and their srory. like she is a bird that migrates and he is a panda admiring her. it really reminded me of the movie Adam. cause in the song when he says "she lives way up in a tree next to a king sorta like me" cause in the movie they live in the same apartment building. and in the end she writes a children's book with animals based on ther relationship, but they just stay friends wounder if the director listends to hsh... anyways, my fav songs on the album.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
