When you're alone,
Do you think of me
And my diamond rings
Thrown out to sea?

And when you love,
Do you love for me?
Like harmony
A never-ending dream.

Oh well, oh well
I still hope for the best
Say goodbye and send me off with a kiss farewell
And I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be
Maybe you could get some sleep tonight.

So here's your song
It's twisting me
I'd give anything
To make you scream.

And I'll just smile
And make-believe
I don't feel a thing.
It doesn't work for me.

Oh well, oh well
Guess I'll see you in Hell
There's a pretty little picture that's in my head.
And I'm starting to dream
Changing colors while I sleep
Maybe I'm just wasting time.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack (our soundtrack)
I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart
And it's not easy to talk about (don't talk about)
So we all scream loud.

And that was it
I had made it clean
Just across the street
With my new wings.

So I'll just fly
And hope that I remember the good times (the good times)
When it's done.

Oh well, oh well
I can live with myself
As I'm climbing in your window to get to your bed
And I'll be what you need
You can call me anything
Just as long as we're still friends.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack (our soundtrack)
I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart
And it's not easy to talk about (don't talk about)
So we all sing.

Whoa whoa whoa

When she smiles
Well it's got nothing to do with me.
I'm not the one who sings her to sleep.
And I've been talking to God
Asking for just a little help with you
But it's hopeless.

It's not the first time
But this one really carved it in.
Tell your new friends
That they don't know you like I do.
It's over.
I wanna see you again.
I wanna feel it again.

It's not the first time
But this one really carved it in.
Tell your new friends
That no one knows you like I do.
It's over.
I wanna see you again.
I wanna feel it again.

I'll keep you warm
Safe in my arms
Till Heaven calls
Keep holding on.

    at the part where you have "And I've been talking to God Asking for just a little help with you But it's so close."

    i thinks its "but it's hopeless" not "so close"

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.

Silent Planet
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.

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.
Album art
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.
