I've been everywhere around the world and finally here tonight
You seem to be the only one to make me feel alright

I feel good when I know you're coming down
I feel good when I know you'll be around

So quit your life and stay with me
We'll order in and watch TV
We'll paint the house and wash the car
We'll take a walk but not too far
So quit your life and stay with me

New York to Los Angeles and all it takes in between
After miles and hours on the road, you're the best I've seen

I feel good, you're the best friend that I've found
I feel good when I'm coming back to your town

So quit your life and stay with me
We'll order in and watch TV
We'll paint the house and wash the car
We'll take a walk but not too far
So quit your life and stay with me

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

I heard the road, it was calling my name
I walked towards the light and I ran towards the flame
I ran towards the flame

After all is said and done, I don't mind saying again
I say it's true that I'm in love with the places that I've been

I feel good when I know you're coming down
I feel good when I know you'll be around

So quit your life and stay with me
We'll order in and watch TV
We'll paint the house and wash the car
We'll take a walk but not too far
So quit your life and stay with me

So quit your life and stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

    MxPx is kinda boring to me. alot of their songs just dont deal with hard issues, or express real emotions. "we'll order in and watch TV." kinda novelty wich is ok, but they arent clever enough to really pull it off in my opinion. the only really good band that can pull of the cheesey songs-about-girls is the Mr T Experience. and that isnt to say that all songs about grils are cheesey. Brand New and Saves The Day write songs about girls, but they actually put feeling into them. MxPx, it seems, does it to have fun, which is totally fine, but its kinda boring to just listen to.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
