I was fine, just a guy living on my own
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then you called and changed it all, doll
Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in
We both know you'd already win
Mm, your original sin

You fooled me once with your eyes now, honey
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in her world, so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?

Sarah (Sarah, Sarah, Sarah)
Oh Sarah (Sarah)
Are you saving me?

Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way
I really hoped that you would stay
But you left and went your own way, babe
I don't mind, take your time, I got things to do
Besides sit around and wait for you
Oh and I hope you do too, ooh

You fooled me once with your eyes now, honey
You fooled me twice with your lies, and I say

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in her world, so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her?

Sarah
Oh Sarah
Are you saving me?

And it's killing me inside (bang bang bang, bang bang bang)
Consuming all my time
You've left me blind
And when I think I'm right
You strip away my pride
You cast it all aside, but I say

Sarah smiles like Sarah doesn't care
She lives in her world so unaware
Does she know that my destiny lies with her

Sarah (Sarah)
Oh Sarah (Sarah)
Are you saving me?

    My Opinion

    At first I couldn't take this song seriously because it's about Brendon's girlfriend (I have nothing against her, it just felt off to have a love song sung by Brendon for some reason). But now I'm in love with it. I like it when he sings words like "Doll" "Honey" and "Babe". Haha.

    But this would be really awkward if they broke up (hopefully they don't.) I think that's why I couldn't take this seriously at first. Panic! just doesn't look like the type to put a love song on an album.

    Anyway, beautiful song but pretty straightforward. I like the intro. It feels vaudevillean and baroque.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
