I built this house
With my own hands
But she just came
And heard the plans
She found the safe
And cracked the code
She grabbed the goods
And hit the road

And I'm
Feeling glum
Oh, oh, girl
You're the one

Who shut off my electricity
Explained we just lack chemistry
And on the walls and on the shelves
She hung up pictures of herself

And I'm keeping one
Oh, oh, girl
You're the one

That makes it hard to
Lock my doors at night
Even my fire alarms don't work right
And as I try to sleep I
Glance next doors
And all I see is his lips touching yours
Oh girl

I will dig a hole and label it love
Trick her to fall in from above
Strategically placed at the front door
I'll coax her to come back to get more

And now
I'm feeling dumb
Oh, oh, girl
You're the one

That makes it hard to
Lock my doors at night
Even my fire alarms don't work right
And as I try to sleep I
Glance next doors
And all I see is his lips touchings yours
Oh girl

    What I get from this is it's about this guy who had a girlfriend. He still loves her, but she was never in love with him to begin with-- reason why he needs to trick her into tripping into his hole of love? haha. Anyway, she was with another guy the whole time and was using this boy here for something of some sort. Once she got what she needed, she left him wrecked and this is just his story... does that make sense?

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.

Amazing

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.
