I'm no leader, I'm just a mess
It's not the way it's supposed to be
It's just the way that it is
I'm afraid we are all victims here
And the one whose in charge
I've lead us all astray again

Oh, how the plot thickens!
Are we too far gone?
Are we too far gone?

We always assume the worst
We always assume the worst

I'm afraid no ones listening anymore
I'm freaking out
I'm so sick
I'm making me sick
Don't look down, don't look down

The only thing in my way is myself
I'm just thinking out loud
I'm just thinking
How can I still be alive
I should have been gone
so long
so long ago

I can't get away from it all
I messed up like I always do
I gave you nothing
I took you nowhere
You're still listening
I gave you nothing
I took you nowhere
You're still listening

The world around me
Has taken a turn for the worst
I'm left alone
Climbing to the top
Should I jump, should I stay
Can I make another day
Should I jump, should I stay

I am the one who's wrong
I am the one who's wrong
I am the one who's wrong
I am the one who's wrong
God forgive me

    Favorite song on this album right now.

    This song is about Spencer being his own worst enemy. He's dug himself into a hole and is questioning his ability to fix himself.

    I also think this is Spencer's thoughts about being the front man for this band. He feels like people are looking to him for the answers, but he's looking for answers himself. I gave you nothing I took you nowhere You're still listening Those lines gave me that impression.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
