In my youth I chose a quiet way.
You were there and passed me every day.
You always made it so easy,
But I can't go back; and you won't come back.

All my nights I take a bed of sand.
Since that day I would have called your name and taken your hand.
It's always sounding so easy,
But I can't go back; and you won't come back.

After the day, after the sun is in bed,
The sky is this electric blue.
After the daylight, I'm dreaming in Deja Vu:
The only time I can have you...

In my head your voice is calling me.
Here and there to places I can't believe
My mind is taking you with me,
But a senseless touch, it's just not enough.

REM would be a distant land.
Since that day I would have called your name and taken your hand.
Just give me something to ease me,
Cause this inner love, isn't ever enough.

After the day, after the sun is in bed,
The sky is this electric blue.
After the daylight, I'm dreaming in Deja Vu: The only time I can have;

After the day, after the sun is in bed,
The sky is so electric blue.
After the daylight, I'm dreaming in Deja Vu:
The only time I can have you...

You were there in my dreams, but I was lying alone.
You were there in my dreams, Whoa. But I been lying,
No I been dying, no I was dying alone.
Yeah I been dying, no I've been dying alone.
I was dying, I been dying alone.

You were there in my dreams, but I'm lying alone...

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.

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.

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.
