I'm holding on, waiting for your call
It's simple, but I can't explain this
I'm sinking down; I feel like I could die
I'm falling off; I don't know why

I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day
I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day

So I might try to leave it all behind
I know tomorrow's not so bright now
I'll say goodbye 'cause nothing good can last
(You wear and figured no where fast)
And today I don't know how to keep it all inside
But I guess I'll let it slide

I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day
I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day

Today I don't know why
I thought that it was real
But I guess it's no big deal

I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day
I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day

I don't know how
I don't know how
To let it slide

    this is one of my favorite songs. it seems like its about someone who really cares about someone else, and some crappy stuff is going on between them, and they're tryin to get through it. the 'i still believe it when you say its another perfect day' means that stuff doesnt look good, but they're tryin to get through it maybe?

    This is what Scott said about this song: "The story is that of a young boy who has lost his way, gets caught up with a bad crowd, finds god, stops eating meat, starts eating meat again, and then joins an exclusive health club." Hehehe :D

    I dont' really like American Hi Fi but this song is excellent. Its hard to explain but this song helps me get through my long distance relationship. Being a 1000 miles its hard to talk everyday like you do when your together. I find myself waiting for his call, sinking and not understanding why, and letting everything slide when he tells me its another perfect day. I also have this constant fear that we nothing good can last! I also let things slide because I don't want to fight when we are far away. I don't know. I probably have the song all wrong, its just how I realte to the song!

    This song reminds me of this awesome relationship I had with a girl and now she just wants to be friends, "I thought that it was real, But i guess it's no big deal". And my favorite lines are "So i might try to leave it all behind, I know tommorow's not so bright now, I'll say goodbye cause nothing good can last". The song keeps me from thinking about what we had so I can try to get over it and be just friends. This is such a good song.

    We all can relate to this song somehow. I just downloaded the video, its pretty funny. I agree with NFG24, about how its a great song to listen to when your aggrivated or upset. I think American Hi Fi is a really good band too. Are they comming out (or have they came out) with a new cd yet ?

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.
