The Most Beautiful Things

Jimmy Eat World

You say the most beautiful things
An endless list of treasures, trimmings
It takes all my faith just to start
I don't care now how much I'm wrong

(We run, we run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We run, we run) All of what I might be
(We run, we run) Close your eyes, call it escape
(We run, we run) We'll run away from everything

My song, it shames your ears
Every sentence, failure
A slant rhyme is all I can give
And half-truth is all I'll get

(We run, we run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We run, we run) All of what I might be
(We run, we run) Close your eyes, call it escape
(We run, we run) We'll run away from everything

Oh, lie to me
Oh, love me

(We run, we run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We run, we run) All of what I might be
(We run, we run) Close your eyes, call it escape
(We run, we run) We'll run away from everything
(We run, run) Run away from everything
(We run, run) Run away from everything

    This is on the singles album but it is one of the most songs they've done. I think it's beautiful and its all about how he can't communicate about how he feels to a girl

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.

Page

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.
