Let's go walking on the water
Come all the way please
I want to know
Should I stay or go?

No need to be scared
Let's jump into the day
I want to know
I think I oughta go

Close your eyes and make believe
You can do whatever you please
I want to know
I think I better go

Let's go walking on water
Now you think I'm Satan's daughter
I want to know
Please let me go!

Just too quick
Now I think I'm gonna be sick
I want to know
Should I stay or go?

I'm trying for the future
It's funny that way
I want to know
I want to know!

I took a look into the hate
It made me feel very up-to-date
I want to know
Should I stay or go?

Hold me tight, down on my knees
So I don't go burning 'cross the breeze
I want to know
I want to know

I want to know
Should I stay or go?

Burning 'cross the breeze
Burning 'cross the breeze

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.

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.
