This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
i count the steps from where i am
to where i started
i tap my feet
and close the door, to your apartment
and i know youre never gonna understand
its too late for you to stop and think
too late to mention
i make a move and spill my drink
to break the tension
i know youre never gonna understand
ill try my best to follow if i can, but
i would have let you leave (x3)
the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion
and i know youre never gonna understand
and wont you slow this down oh if you can
you swayed your hips and stole the breathe
that i was taking
i touched your lips and held your hands
when they were shaking
look how we've fallen upon our knees
how we forgot it
these empty halls held our disease
before we caught it
now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
i would have let you leave
the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion
now out the door and down the stairs
from your apartment
i count the steps from where i am
to where i started
i would have let you (x3)
i would have let you leave.
to where i started
i tap my feet
and close the door, to your apartment
and i know youre never gonna understand
its too late for you to stop and think
too late to mention
i make a move and spill my drink
to break the tension
i know youre never gonna understand
ill try my best to follow if i can, but
i would have let you leave (x3)
the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion
and i know youre never gonna understand
and wont you slow this down oh if you can
you swayed your hips and stole the breathe
that i was taking
i touched your lips and held your hands
when they were shaking
look how we've fallen upon our knees
how we forgot it
these empty halls held our disease
before we caught it
now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
i would have let you leave
the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion
now out the door and down the stairs
from your apartment
i count the steps from where i am
to where i started
i would have let you (x3)
i would have let you leave.

Holiday

@[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.

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is a brilliant song, it's obviously about a break up or is it? For no apparent reason (there's always a reason) he breaks up with her, she's willing to continue their relationship at a distance but he leaves unaware. I like the fact that Andrew clearly illustrates an image with his song, a guy shows up at his girlfriends place "from where I started" he only only goes there to break up "notion is the emotion." Soon after she states "I'll try my best to follow if I can, but I would have let you leave." The word "but" is significant as it shows us that she was willing let go. "You swayed your hips and stole the breathe that I was taking" indicates that she cuts him off as he was trying to explain to her why he is doing what he feels is right. I'm still trying to figure out "these empty halls held our disease before we caught it" I'm guessing it has to do with previous arguments they had; I'm not sure. Leaving her place "I count the steps from where I am to where I started" he begins a new chapter... just without her. The part that throws me off is the last verse where Andrew and Katie sing together "I would have let you leave" maybe someone could explain it to me? Could they both have been willing let let each other go?
Either way... everyone will one day remember this song when I feature it in my sitcom, without going into details this song will make a last impression on the viewers.
Hey that's pretty good insight? I can shed a little more meaning on the song, since I'm Andrew's dad. He says that Static Waves has a lot to do with the unspoken confusion of relationships in general (unclear communication). "I would have let you leave" is exactly that, the willingness to let the other go in order to let them find happiness. Kind of an "If you love it, let it go, and if it comes back, then it is love" type of thing.<br /> <br /> I really enjoy ALL of his music, and have loved watching him grow! I can tell you that there will be many more good songs from him in the future! I've always been proud of him, but now I'm just amazed! :)<br /> <br /> Rick<br /> MrPencil.info
