There a good kind of pain
And insane kinda sane
(when I'm around you) [Repeat: x2]

There a chill in the heat
Feel the sky at my feet 'cause I adore you
I can't ignore you

[Chorus:]
I'm not ill I don't need to
Take a pill to fix what you do
Cure can come through
'cause baby all I do is suffer from
The symptoms of you

There is a left kinda right
There is a blind kinda sight
Looking at you [Repeat: x2]
There is no light in the moon and its winter in June
When I'm without you [Repeat: x2]

[Chorus]

And it trips me off my feet
I think I'm falling in too deep
Do you feel it too

[Chorus: x2]

    I don't like the chorus, although it fits the song... Blah... I think I just don't like the campiness of the chorus--it's too rhyme-y, in that kindergarten sort of way?

    Otherwise, I

Itz pretty much self explainatory, my favourite bit is the way she sez "cause i adore you" it soundz so heartfelt and true, its really nice! I also like the "winter in june" bit too!

    really cute song, and is so sweet she says there's no cure except for actually getting "him", cause she suffers from symptoms of "him"

    I love this song so much, even though i don't particularly like lindsay lohan, this is a song that really seems genuine to me. i think that she is singing about hurting over someone because they don't love you the same as you love them, and being confused about it. like should i move on? should i stay? idk, i like all the contraditive terms used in the song as well. and i also like the line "im not ill, i dnt need to take a pill to fix what you do" it makes me think that she is trying to stay strong...

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
