So maybe I took too much
Yeah maybe I lost my touch
Or maybe all kinds of stuff
Yeah maybe...

Promise me it comes around again
It doesn't matter if it's true
I beg you please don't take away
The only hope I have to get
Another go with you
And I will change me back to how I was
Before I really understood
The easy way to less is always more

Beautiful!
I should have sung it like that
Beautiful!
I should have sung it right back
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I should have sung it to you then
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I should have sung it to the end
Maybe I wouldn't be here now
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I didn't know how
I should have sung it to the end
Maybe I couldn't get the time
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I hadn't got why

So maybe I took too much
Yeah maybe I lost my touch
Or maybe all kinds of stuff
Yeah maybe...

All kinds of stuff.

Promise me it runs around
It doesn't matter if it's all a lie
I only want the dream of us
Together like it was
Before you realized the
Why it is we only get one way to know
A night
I wish I'd got back then
The easy way to wrong is never right.

Wonderful!
I should have sung it like that
Wonderful!
I should have sung it right back
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I should have sung it to you then
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I should have sung it to the end
Maybe I wouldn't be here now
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I didn't know how
I should have sung it to the end
Maybe I couldn't get the time
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I hadn't got why...

So maybe I took too much
Yeah maybe I lost my touch
Or maybe all kinds of stuff
No maybe...
I fucked this up

    Reflecting back on what went wrong in a relationship, "what could I have done? what could I have said? did I change?"

    I read that this song's about his band, how RS should have listened to his band and they'd still be going strong. I think he messed up.

    It seems to me that rs knows someone who's dear to him and hes' scared to lose him/her. While I agree with seanstuarthome, it may be about losing his band, I still think it's more than that, as it's repeated in a lot of his songs.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
