So yeah, the girl bites her lip
So yeah, the boys eyes are busy
and i know what's been missin'
Nervous nights, no second guessing
those 3 numbers he's not pressing
conversations never ending... yeah

Shouldn't he just make the move?
second hand just points to prove my point
It doesn't happen all to often (all to often)
Shouldn't she just take the chance
like she took holding his hand
And I know, it doesnt happen all to often

Come on kid you gotta figure this out
just act stronger, you got her number
What are you worried about?
It's girls like this that we live for, live for

Come on kid you gotta figure this out
just act stronger, you got her number
Just chill out, just shut up
Let's just talk because we can't get enough

So yeah, the girl bites her lip
So yeah, the boys hands are busy
and I know what's been missin'
Playfull nighttimes, well worth spending
The other boy that she's been kissing
This highschool thing that's had its ending

Shouldn't he just make the move?
second hand just points to prove my point
It doesn't happen all to often (all to often)
Shouldn't she just take the chance
like she took holding his hand
And I know, it doesnt happen all to often

And I know, it doesnt happen all to often (all to often)
And I know, it doesnt happen all to often
So yeah...

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.

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.
