Well, I didn't know what I should do
To help myself get over you
And mend this heart of mine
So I took my axe and walked around
Until I knew that I had found
The perfect piece of pine

Well I took my axe and walked around
Sized it up girl and I cut it down

Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart
Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart

Well, I carved and sanded with the grain
I've added coats of stain
And my new heart's looking good
But one more problem still remains
I just can't seem to make this thing
Work the way it should

Well, I carved and sanded with the grain
This heart of mine just ain't the same

Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart
Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart

[Repeat x2]
When you are mine
This heart will shine
I'll set my watch
To its perfect time

Come on, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart
Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart

Come on girl (x3)
Ohhhh
Come on girl (x3)
Ohhhh

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
