Oh, yeah

Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside

And girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay
'Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say

I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love

And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love

Maybe I'm a drifter
Maybe not, huh
'Cause I have known the safety
Of floating freely in your arms

And I don't need another lifeline
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me
Oh, can't you see?

I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
(Don't seem like long enough, yeah)

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love

And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love

Go on pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air that I breathe

Every time I breathe I take you in
('Cause every time I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
(Baby, I can't help it)

You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love

Baby, I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love

Got me drowning
(Ohh)
Got me drowning
Keep me drowning in your love

Baby, I can't help it
(Can't help it, can't help it, no no)
Got me drowning

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
(I do)
And my heart beats again
(Oh yeah)

Baby, I can't help it
(Baby, I can't help it)
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above

(Got me drowning)
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love

    ok i'll probly get shouted down by absolutly every1 who checks out this page but wot is goin on wiv this huge argument where u all feel u have 2 justify wot music u like whether its bsb or ne thing else. This is a bsb page and its just full of comments about whether ne of their stuff is good or bad. I didnt read ne thing bout this actual song which i think is pretty good 4 them.

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.

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.

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.
