She said, take a drink of my sprite
So you can think of me all night
Things left unsaid
Like, I'm amazed by this sight
And how I'd love it if you'd write
To me often to tell me how you've been
Been... Been...

We do the same things every weekend
We see the same faces every day
I wish a tornado would come and carry me
Far away

So tell me your interests
And do you think that it's for the best
That we could hang out
And used to nothingness
Yeah wouldn't that be great
Catch a movie, make it a date
And maybe next year
We'll meet at the same place

We do the same things every weekend
We see the same faces every day
I wish a tornado would come and carry me
Far away... away

I swear your feet are wings
And by that look on your face
There's no doubt on my mind
As to how it is you feel
So don't be scared tonight
I know you're all alone
But I'll come running
Well it's sweet you ride your bike
Yet sometimes I wonder what it's like
To be a girl getting all the attention

We do the same thing every weekend
We see the same faces every day
I wish a tornado would come and carry me
Far Away... Away

Yet it's too late alone

    the name of this song is actually "Act On (feeling alone)".

    I have the cd jacket with all of the lyrics in it, but not here in my apartment. :( it's going to be my duty to go home this weekend and look at the lyrics again.

    I remember I saw reubens accomplice open at a jimmy eat world concert a couple of years ago. I had never even heard of them, but I liked them so much I bought their cd. they were hanging out at the entrance after the show with a book to sign in so I signed in it and met them. I've liked them a lot ever since. this album is amazing.

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.

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.
