You've got me on a high
I'm falling through the sky
The summer's here so I
Could leave winter and fly
But what we gonna do?
You leave at half past two
We wasted time today
I guess it has to be that way

That I can make you cry
I can make you

Cry
Cry

You looked into my eyes
You came as a surprise
You washed me in the shower
It lasted for an hour

But what we gonna do?
You leave at half past two
We waste more time each day
And everything's OK
Except that

I can make you cry
I can make you

Cry
(But I really don't want to)
(All the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(But you make it so easy)
(And it's driving me crazy)

Cry
(But I really don't want to)
(All the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(But you make it so easy)
(And it's driving me crazy)

Do do do do do do do do
('Cause everything changed today)
Do do do do do do
(If you would let me stay)

Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh

Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do

The summer's here again
(And I don't want to pretend)
And it would change but when?
(I just don't want it to end)

See'os I can make you cry
('Cause everything changed today)
I can make you...

Cry
(But I really don't want to)
(All the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(But you make it so easy)
(And it's driving me crazy)

Cry
(But I really don't want to)
(All the trouble I've gone to)
Cry
(But you make it so easy)
(And it's driving me crazy)

Do do do do do do do do
('Cause everything changed today)
Do do do do do do

    It's kind of wierd that no one has said anything about this song.... oh well, probably just means that its crap. It's kind of catchy though, i must admit. I just remeber this song, like 7 years ago, at this kids party, it was a sleepover, and we stayed up pretty much all night just mucking around. Any way, video hits came on or something, and this song was on it, and I think i might have been the only one awake, but i swear it nearly made me cry, and I have no idea why. I haven't heard it since then, so it's kind of wierd. It's pretty catchy and emotional, dunno what any one else thinks about it, because i doubt they've ever heard it.

    This is an awesome song! One of the best pop/rock songs ever written imho.

    I think its about spending time, hanging out with someone and indeed falling for someone when their is no hope of a relationship or a future together.

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.

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.
