Baby, I will soon be leaving
And I know that you are feeling down
But every week I'll send a letter
To let you know my love will never change
I promise you, I always feel the same

So remember in your heart
Baby when we are apart
There's no need for crying
'Cause even if I am

Halfway around the world
That won't stop me from loving you
Halfway around the world
Still be feeling the way I do
Now I wanna hold you, baby
'Cause I'm going to miss you like crazy
Even if I'm halfway around the world

Baby, when the miles are growing
You and I will still be growing strong
No matter what your friends are saying
Don't give up on what you're waiting for
'Cause one day I'll be knocking on your door

So remember in your heart
Baby, when we are apart
There's no need for crying
'Cause even if I am

Halfway around the world
That won't stop me from loving you
Halfway around the world
Still be feeling the way I do
Now I wanna hold you, baby
'Cause I'm gonna miss you like crazy
Even if I'm halfway around the world

If I could, you know that I would find a way
To stay for good, but I must go now
I wanna hold you, baby
I'm gonna miss you like crazy, even if I'm...

    love it! :D

    This song I think means that someone is moving practically halfway around the world and that someone is telling another person to not cry and that she/he may be back.... kinda confusing... though... lol

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.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
