The time I would spend
With pictures I would not send

I watched you go from left to right
I follow you all night
Across my blinds

You'll change your mind
Come Monday
And turn your back on me
Take your steps away
With hesitance
You take your steps away from me

I'm making my peace
And making it with distance

But maybe that's a big mistake
You know I'm thinking of you
I miss you

You'll change your mind
Come Monday
And turn your back on me
Take your steps away
With hesitance
Take your steps away from me

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

You'll change your mind
Come Monday
And turn your back on me
Take your steps away
With hesitance
Take your steps away from me

From me
From me
From me

    have you ever known someone who you knew, you knew would walk away. every time you took them back, they would change their mind, and turn their back. so you make your peace with distance, but its not so easy to forget. as much as this person weighs on your heart you're not foolish enough to let them in again.

    it was new years eve, and she was wrapped around me. brien was playing music from my computer, cautioners comes on. she's sleeping on my as i sit on the couch, party around me. i tell brien, i wont ever forget this moment. i knew it was over before it began, i knew her path regardless of how i felt. so i took the night as it came and watched her walk away, and never forgot.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
