Shooting Star

Wideawake

I'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
when i'm lost i will find you
you're not so far,
my shooting star.

would you like to hear my 20 questions?
it's just a taste of what's spinning around in my head
and would you like to offer some suggestions?
cause you if you think too much up here you wind up dead.

Still I sit and I ponder this emotion.
too scared to jump, too anxious to sit still
and i am my own enemy
so i look into the mirror
at the giant i must kill
i will

i'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
and when i'm lost, i will find you
you're not so far
my shooting star

i ain't got much money in my pocket
but i can't complain,
because my plate is full
but i keep my dreams all hidden in my closet
with some of the gifts i got from you

but i don't have a clue as how i got here
and even less of a clue about where i should go
and this mystery might be killing me
but if i had a choice to,
i wonder if i'd want to know.
i don't think so

i'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
and when i'm lost i will find you
you're not so far
my shooting star

now i find myself back where i started
i'm too scared to jump,
too anxious to sit still
i'm not ready to let go
but i will need a patient hand
to catch me when i am

and i'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
and when i'm lost i will find you
you're not so far,
my shooting star.

i'll be two steps behind you, yeah
cause i know right where you are
you're right beside me now
and when i'll lost i will find you
you're not so far,
my shooting star.

you're not so far.

you're not so..

    this is an incredible song. I can't fathom why it isn't more well-known.

    Agreed. I can't believe this group is virtually unknown :/ This is by far one of my favorite songs <3

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.

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.
