Isn't it weird that this time last year,
I only knew you through a friend and had a vague concept of "I'll never see her again."
Then through a steady stream of phone calls,
That happened last fall, were you nervous?
Did central time make you forget how old you were?
And you'll be mine in the end,
For now we'll talk nights and weekends.
Just wanted to say, I love you.
Just, just wanted to wait 'till it felt right.
It feels right all the time,
I'll kiss the corner of your eye.
Now i've made up my mind,
You're going to know before tonight,
Know before tonight on your parents driveway.
I thought I'd wait until a good time,
To say "Hey Ash I'm in love with you" and wait to hear you say I love you too.
I thought Clearwater would be a good spot,
Take a long walk on the beach and pour my heart out at your feet.
You'd say your mine till the end,
Not just nights and weekends.
Just wanted to say, I love you.
Just, just wanted to wait till it felt right.
If feels right all the time,
I'll kiss the corner of your eye.
Now I've made up my mind,
You're going to know before tonight,
Know before tonight on your parents driveway
In New York for the 4th of July,
That was so kind, thank God for my friends,
Those fireworks - we will never end.
But I look forward to in the mean time,
No more cell phones or instant messaging and sleeping with you next to me.

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.
