I'm so tired, my eyes are blood-shot red, yeah,
I've been around some and I have discovered
the dream ain't what it seems, but this reality, it's nearly dead.

I've gotta leave, I'm gonna leave you now,
can't step in Alaska, take me down south of Mount Shasta,
going to California in the morn.

I've had enough of rugged edges of the world
where there's too many guys and not enough girls,
middle of nowhere, gives a guy a distant stare.

But I love you more than anyone I know --
I do not know anyone at all.

Well, I awoke in the back of a station wagon,
Whittier, Alaska, in the pouring rain,
outside a bar called the Anchor Inn.

There was a fight, I heard your lover fair dissolved,
problem solved with a broken fist,
bloody nose and a busted lip.

You broke your hand,
you hit the wall when he ducked your punch,
heard he's waiting at your cabin with the gun.

Now there's no sound, just the Prince William Sound
and he don't say a thing,
it's almost summer: it rains and snows and rains again.

If I return just to find that I'm dead to you,
can my ghost lie in bed with you?
I'll possess your boyfriend's body,
then you'll be making love to me.

But you love him more than anyone you know
but you don't know anyone at all.

So do your dreams fuel the fire of your illusion?
Heart and mind are in collusion,
asleep you're not alive, if you dream can you still survive?

And do you feel that your life is consuming you,
the illusion's ruining you, your love's a fallacy,
so what on earth could set you free?

I love you more than anyone I know
but I don't know anyone at all.

I love you more than anyone I know
but I don't know anyone at all.

You loved him more than anyone you know
but you don't know anyone at all.

    There was a fight, I heard your lover fair dissolved, problem solved with a broken fist, bloody nose and a busted lip.

    You broke your hand, you hit the wall when he ducked your punch, heard he's waiting at your cabin with the gun.

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
