Once we get to the end of this song,
Then it will begin again.

So you said,
In our bed.
I was watching light ship
Through blinds to find your skin.

So take your medicine
And I won't ask where you've been.
Live your lost weekend.
I know you've wanted it.
Get big, little kid.

And I can't say why each day
Doesn't quite fit the space
We saved for it.
But if that space now demands
That you throw up both your hands,
That you call it quits...

Take your midnight trip
I know you've dreamed of it.
Walk your sunset strip,
Because I think you've needed it
To get big, little kid.

But just remember that our love
Only got this good
Because of those younger days
That'd you like to outstrip.
So drink your cup down
To the dregs and leave
That club shaking legs
With another guy,
But just remember: I'm not him.

Take your medicine and I won't ask
Where you've been.
Live your lost weekend,
Because I know you've wanted it
To get big, little kid.

And once we get to the end of this song,
Then another will begin.

    I think it is about him loving this girl, but needs to let her go to let her grow.

    "And I can't say why each day doesn't quite fit the space we saved for it."

    she is drifting away and they arent spending the time together they/he hoped they would because she is too busy partying and doing whatever

    "So drink your cup down to the dregs and leave that club shaking legs with another guy, but just remember: I'm not him."

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
