Another Saturday night and I am all alone
What a depressing sight I’m sitting by the phone

And I am waiting waiting waiting for that call
When it means nothing nothing nothing to you at all

SO WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH WHEN IT MEANS SO LITTLE
WHY DO I MAKE EVERYTHING SO SENTIMENTAL
THE JACKSON 5 MAKE IT ALL SEEM SO DAMN EASY
BUT I’M STILL HOME
I’M ALONE
AND I’M SICK OF COUNTING TO 3

Another Saturday night and you’re not here with me
I coulda sworn that we were sposed to go party

And I am waiting waiting waiting for that call
When it means nothing nothing

No it means nothing at all
And I’m… I’m right here and I’m wondering
Why ya lie
Yet still I try and try and try
Why… why are you so far away
When I… I just want you close to me

I’m sure you have a good reason
I’m a puss over reactin
So do you have a good reason
Or was I right am I a puss

CHORUS

Whoa
123
Whoa
I am drowning in frowning and counting to 3
I’m drowning in frowning and counting to 3

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
