I join the queue on your answer phone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up, I know you're there
Can't you hear, I'm not myself

Well go ahead and lie to me
You could say anything
Small talk will be just fine
Your voice is everything
We owe it to love and it all depends on you

So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling

Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it

So how do I do normal
A smile I fake
A permanent wave of
Cue-cards and fix-it kits
Can't you tell, I'm not myself

I'm a slow-motion accident
Lost in coffee rings and finger prints
I don't want to feel anything
But I do, and it all comes back to you

So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling

Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it

So listen up (Hear me out)
Look at me straight (This time you gotta listen to me)
Just hear me out (This time you gotta listen to me)
Don't make me wait (This time you gotta listen to me)
I'm not myself (This time you gotta listen to me)
I can't take this (This time you gotta listen to me)
Love's on the line
Is that your final answer?

I join the queue on your answer phone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up, I know you're there

So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling

Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it

So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling

Just hear me out, I'm not over you
It's love on the line, can you handle it

So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling

Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it

    Yeah, I agree. She is definetly falling hard for this guy whose feelings are kind of luke warm. I love her voice in this song even though it is pretty great all of the time.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
