I've never been the type
To turn my back and run
It's never appealed to me
To be the same as everyone
When it comes to shove and I can't see you
Through the black
I'm gonna scream your name
'Til you come back
And every time I play with fire
I'm gonna burn, burn, burn until I learn
And every time I'm killing myself
I'm gonna hate, hate, hate
Time to set it straight

Bury the sick side
Tear from the inside out
Follow the downside
Waiting for something else

I know that you'll be here
And I'll be waiting
I know that you'll be near
And I'll be waiting

I turn it back and question
Everything in sight
It's like I try to fall again
When everything is going right
And everything that matters
Isn't everything in sight
It's taking every bit of me
To keep this all inside
I've never been the type
To turn my back and run
It's never appealed to me
To be the same as everyone
When it comes to shove and I can't see you
Through the black
I'm gonna scream your name
'Til you come back

Bury the sick side
Tear from the inside out
Follow the downside
Waiting for something else

I know that you'll be here
And I'll be waiting
I know that you'll be near
And I'll be waiting

Lost my mind and I lost track
I'm gonna scream your name 'til you come back
Lost my mind and I lost track
Gonna scream your name

Lost my mind

I know that you'll be here
And I'll be waiting
I know that you'll be near
And I'll be waiting
(Lost my mind) I'll be waiting

Gonna scream your name 'til you come back

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
