Pour me
Floatin' out to see
An opportunity that went by

Pour you
Now what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do?
You just cry

Pour me, so blind I couldn't see
The flowers or the trees, I don't know why

Pour you
You split yourself in two
Now what you gonna do?
You just cry

I hear you
Come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand

I hear you
Come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand

Pour me
Floating out to see
An opportunity that went by

Pour you
Now what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do?
You just cry

I hear you
Come nearer
I hear you, but I don't understand

I hear you
Come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand

I don't understand
I don't understand

    pour me, so blind i couldn't see the flowers or the trees, i don't know why.

    i think it makes more sense if it's like: the forrest for the trees, does it?

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.

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.

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.
