When will I see you again?
(Again)
It's a question I ask all the time
(Time)
It's now the last time till the end
(End)
All I need is, all I need is
All I need is, all I need is
All I need to see is a sign

It's starting to wear me down
Little by little
Feeling like a sick dog
Everything's gone wrong

Tell me what it takes
To make it like yesterday
One thing that is true
I'll be waiting

If I only knew what was right
I'd do it in a second to calm down
Oh baby, when day falls to night
My heart always ends up on the ground

When will I see you again?
It's a question I ask all the time
It's now the last time till the end
All I need to see is a sign

Every night, spent alone
Nothing gets easy, no one comes home
It's simple when you say, I've accepted what's come to me
Tell me what it takes, I'll be waitin'

If I only knew what was right
(What was right)
I'd do it in a second to calm down
(Calm down)
Oh baby, when day falls to night
(To night)
My heart always ends up on the ground

When will I see you again?
(When will I see you again?)
It's a question I ask all the time
(All the time)
It's now the last time till the end
(Till the end)
All I need to see is a sign

A sign, a sign, a sign, a sign, a sign

If I only knew what was right
I'd do it in a second to calm down
Oh baby, when day falls to night
My heart always ends up on the ground

When will I see you again?
It's a question I ask all the time
(Time, time)
It's now the last time till the end
(Till the end)
My heart always ends up on the ground
(On the ground)

When will I see you again?
(When will I see you again?)
It's a question I ask all the time
(Time, time)
It's now the last time till the end
(Till the end)
All I need to see is a sign

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
