When people go
When people leave
Make some people cry
Make some people drink

When people go
When people leave
It's the saddest thing

When people go
Is it like they're asleep?
Lost to the world
In the longest dream

Like when boats at sea
Never come back
Is it like that?

I think it's going to be
Another long night
I think it's going to be
Another long ride

When people go
When people leave
Make some people cry
Make some people drink

When people go
When people leave
It's the saddest thing

Dizzy in the head
Broke in the heart
There's no business
It's all art

Until it's far behind
And it all comes back
When people go it's so sad, so sad, so sad
So sad, so sad, so sad

And goodnight
And go home
And there is nothing more to see
Just a song
In a box
Some need to cry
And please
Find a friend
Have a drink
And go home
Taking two
Empty hearts
Go to bed and
Go to bed and

Well goodnight
Go home
There is nothing more to see
My friend
Have a drink
Go to bed
And tell them
That you need them
Hold them hold them tight

Goodnight
Go home
There is nothing more to see

Goodnight
Go home
There is nothing more to see

Goodnight
Go home
There is nothing more to see

I think it's going to be a long-long night

Goodnight
Go home
There is nothing more

Goodnight
Go home
There is nothing more to see

Go home

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
