Threw myself on the floor
Chasing time
At the door
Half-past nine
Self-control
Lace your own heart
On the door

Night will mourn
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Like the rising off
They won't need me till tomorrow
Night that claims the sky
Forever dreams of a better day

Half-past nine
Rise at four
Tracing time
After all
Casting iron
Self-control
Lace your heart
On the door

Night will mourn
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Like the rising off
They won't need me till tomorrow
Night that claims the sky
Forever dreams of a better day
Say you'll be around

    Jeremy Enigk has a solo album? Is this it? I didn't know that. But he was amazing in Sunny Day Real Estate.

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.
