Yesterday I lost my closest friend
Yesterday I wanted time to end
I wonder if my heart will ever mend
I just let you slip away
4 A-M forever

Maybe I'll never see you smile again
Maybe we thought that it was all pretend
All these words that I could never send
I just let them slip away
4 AM forever

Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, you'll never know
Hold a little tighter
4 A-M forever

Maybe one day when I can move along
Maybe someday when you can hear this song
You won't let it slip away
4 AM forever

And I wish the sun would never come
It's 4 A-M and you are done
I hope you know you're letting go
It's 4 A-M and I'm alone

Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, you'll never know
Hold a little tighter

Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you (to you)
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through (to you)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, you'll never know
Hold a little tighter
4 A-M forever

    i'm lsnin to this song as i'm typin this and i hopeee i can come to a thoro understanding of wut it means....well he starts off by talkin of a loss....it's as if he's stuck in the moment..in the sitatution ..in time...so 4:am could represent the time where this incident happened "4:am forever" as in he will live in this loss forever ....the words goodbye is also repeated quite alot ...again representing his loss....he is singin this song as if out of desperation: "Mabye someday when you can hear this song, You wont let it slip away"

    maybe he is singin or writin this song at 4:am when he is 'alone' again its the same basic idea either way.... my best part of the song is the chorus tho ..he sings it with such emotion ...i can really relate to wut he is going thro...and im suprised that no one has commented on this gr8 song...anyways...this is wut i think:) hope to hear wut u ppl think! maybe im wrong:P

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
