i called you once
i've told you twice
and as commodities in my eyes
you outta know
it's just a show

i got caught up in times i tried
i settled for less and lost my mind
i want to know
why are you so slow

so michelle's busy drinking
the less i say bout jenny
the better time i'll have tonight
with grant it's just been too long
granted the light's been left off
you know what they'll be doing tonight


while planning how to make her mine
our plans fell through
like every time
she wants to know
where we should go

she missed the point so much this time
i can't believe i made this my life
i want to know
could i try once more

while michelle's busy drinking
the less i say bout jenny
the better time i'll have tonight
with mon it's been since winter
and chris is still so bitter
took it too seriously that night

and meghan just appreciates the effort
oh yes she just appreciates the effort
and i, i appreciate her too


so michelle's busy drinking
the less i say bout jenny
the better time i'll have tonight
with grant it's just been too long
granted the light's been left off
i know just what i'm doing tonight

now northern friends are busy
the grads have all gone missing
they've all taken their to 9 to 5's
and avi's stuck in tallywood
rachel thinks i'm no good
thought i was hitting on her that night

and meghan just appreciates the effort
oh yes she just appreciates the effort
oh yes we all appreciate the effort
and that
yes that's all that i need

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
