Tell me why [?] did you stay r [?]
I couldn't st[?] it out of my eyes
You tell me while you're strollin' along,
it seems like you just like telling lies

You seem to,seem to like me crying
Do you like what you've been trying?
You seem so glad to see me crying
I'm going out of my way

So tell me why did you [?]
[?]
How can you stand here alone and see
Someone standing here
You seem so glad to see me crying
[?]It's [?] I see

It's tearing me up right inside now but
Is there any more I can say?

Tell me did you s [?]
[?] over to
[?] I see
I was [?] out of time
You seem so glad to see me crying
I'm going out of my head

It's tearing me up right inside and I-
is there any more I can say?

It's burning me up right inside
and I can't even get away

...

It's tearing me up right inside and I-
I wish it would just go away

It's tearing me up right inside
Make it just go away, ahhhh

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
