I bleed for my dreams in a place that I come from
This time it's true this sweats for you
Make it stop with just one move
Make it stop with just one move

Pity those with a soft hand making smaller cuts on toughest of fabric
We know what it's like when we,
Put it out in front of us or go home.
Now watch him bleed stomach turns
Let's keep this time rolling where it counts
Baby I know that I tried as desperate it seems that I'm high from watching you fail.

[Repeat: x2]
My hearts for you

Breath in deep his mind is slipping farther side of room
His feet are planted his gaze shifts to you
Can it be enough? will it be enough?

Now stop the pain at the deepest cut he's inside damaging our pride
We've driven this road to many times before with no exit

We all know what it's like when we lose hope put it out in front of us or go home
Put it out in front of us or go home.

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.
