I need to know if you were real
'Cause I've been known to get it wrong
When the memory comes
I'll say I'm always in the dark
You got me now
Chorus
I want to give you back
I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here
I want to give you
I want to give you
I want to give you back
I can't remember how it went
You looked like everything I wanted
And as you came along
Slowly everything began to change
I got you now
[Chorus]
That's enough
Just talking about it
I don't mind
I don't mind no I
Laugh enough
Just dreaming about it
I need to know if you were real
I'd hate to think that I'd been fooled again
And as the vision fades
I'll say I was blinded by your eyes
I felt them burn
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been known to get it wrong
When the memory comes
I'll say I'm always in the dark
You got me now
Chorus
I want to give you back
I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here
I want to give you
I want to give you
I want to give you back
I can't remember how it went
You looked like everything I wanted
And as you came along
Slowly everything began to change
I got you now
[Chorus]
That's enough
Just talking about it
I don't mind
I don't mind no I
Laugh enough
Just dreaming about it
I need to know if you were real
I'd hate to think that I'd been fooled again
And as the vision fades
I'll say I was blinded by your eyes
I felt them burn
[Chorus]

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about how he wanted a girl really badly and fell for her "you got me now", even though she didn't love him. However, things started to change over time. He can't remember how they changed, they just did and now the girl that he could never have "you looked like everything I wanted" was the girl he had and probably should have never had to begin with (And as you came along, slowly everything began to change, I've got you now).
And now that he has her, he needs to let her go, it's time to give her back. To me the first and last paragraphs are the ones that really drive the song home...I need to know if you were real (reflecting)...almost as if he can't believe any of this really happened. As his vision fades, he'll blame it on her eyes...probably the same eyes that got him to begin with.
That's my interrpration anyway...I've listened to this song 1000x, it fits a piece of my life that I have a tough time placing my finger on...but this song somehow describes the way I feel about it PERFECTLY (music and lyrics).
