Can You Keep a Secret?

The Cab

It's true that I'm a silver shadow
And you are always on my mind
You, you need to get over here
We'll disappear

Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good

I could have sworn
We danced right here tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I'm just here tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see your eyes
Don't talk, don't walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby

Soon we're heading to a place
Where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You, you need to let it unfold
Just like you're told

Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good

I could have sworn
We danced right here tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I'm just here tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see your eyes
Don't talk, don't walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby

Soon we're heading to a place
Where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You, you need to let it unfold
Just like you're told

Your secrets safe
And no one has to know
I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make
Everything feel so damn good

I could have sworn
We danced right here tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know
I'm just here tonight?
You wanna dance with me
You wanna dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see your eyes
Don't talk, don't walk
Just the two of us
Dance with me
Dance with me
Come on and dance with me
Dance with me, baby

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
