"I like to sing off key a lot
Just to get into it
I'm doing it on purpose"

When I go
I will stay long gone

When I go
I will stay long gone

When I go
When I go
When I go

I will stay long gone

When I go
I will stay long gone

Away

When I go
I will stay long gone

When I go
I will stay long gone

Away

When I go
When I go
When I go

I will stay long gone

Away

Falling
Falling
Falling

Oh he drove all his days just to hold one against her
And then he rode to her house in the dead of the winter

Say
Why Not?
Why Not?
Why not?
Why not me?

Away

When I go
When I go
When I go

I will stay long gone

Gone
Gone
Gone

"How do you like that for harmony?"

Oh he drove all his days just to hold one against her
And then he rode to her house in the dead of the winter

Say
Why Not?
Why Not?
Why not?
Why not me?

Oh he drove all his days just to hold one against her
And then he rode to her house in the dead of the winter

Say
Why Not?
Why Not?
Why not?
Why not me?

"You are nourishing.
That's what he said"

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
