One less call to answer
Feeling full of despair
Don't think I can get through it
Just one last prayer

And it's a leap of faith
When you believe there's someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you will you be right there?
Right there

Searching for the answer
Nobody seems to care
Oh, how I wish that you were here beside me
To wipe away my tears

And it's a leap of faith
When you believe there's someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you will you be right there?
Right there

Waiting for the answer
Remembering times we would share
Somehow I feel you here beside me
Even though your not there

And it's a leap of faith
When you believe there's someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you will you be right there?
Right there

Right there
And I'll be waiting by the window for your smile to come through
And I'll be waiting in the darkness when I call out to you
And I'll remember when you told me
I could trust in you

And it's a leap of faith
When you believe there's someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you will you be right there?
Right there

It's a leap of faith
And I believe that you are out there
It's a leap of faith and I believe you truly care, oh
And when I call out to you I know you'll be right there
Right there

And it's a leap of faith

    Michelle Branch is one of the most telented young singers I have heard in a long time! I really enjoy this song! I am divided about this song, it's clear from the beginning "one less call to answer" that it's talking about the end of a relationship. But then I believe it would be one of two things. Either it's talking about another person, a friend, who she turns to in her time of need after the end of the relationship, perhaps a close friend. Who she can depend on. On the other hand it could also be the rebirth of the same relationship that had fallen apart in the early lines. That would be the untimate leap of faith, trusting enough to start over with someone, believing that they still care despite what has been said during the end of the relationship. She's remembering that they said "I could trust in you," which is bittersweet. Obviously she thought that she could trust him before and now it is really a leap of faith to reaffirm that trust which has been broken. I'm really undecided though!

    Michelle wrote the song after her grandma died. It was about her and how much Michelle missed her...

    I feel this way whenever a breakup or something similar comes. You don't want to trust people ever again.

    i think it symbolizes the end of a relationship.... any type of relationship. it shows gratitude as well as questions, and a little hint of lonliness. "and i'll remember when you told me i could trust in you..." it really is a leap of faith, though in any relationship.... this song is filled with truths not many people have the power to express as eloquently as she does.

    I don't know why, but my favorite part is when she sings, "Somehow I feel you here beside me even though you're not there" I love this song; not only is it my favorite off of "Broken Bracelet," but it's one of my favorite songs by Michelle.

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.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Album art
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
