Central Park
Right after dark
We are laughing
Holding hands there in the grass
The summer sun has just begun to sing a lullabye to us and it feels so good

You and me
We've got everything we need

I'm not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

Freckles on your arms
I pretend they're stars and find new constellations right beneath my hands
I don't know where the next six months will go
But I'm sure sunrise tomorrow will be better than the one before

You and me
We've got everything we need

I'm not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

I count my footsteps and the avenues as I get close to you
Yes
I do
I can't ever seem to say quite what I really mean

You're beautiful and I'm not easy to please
So I will take the D train down from Harlem when you need me

You're beautiful and I'm not easy to please
So I will take the D train down from Harlem when you need me

I'm not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm
Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm
Lay with me tonight and keep me warm
Won't you lay with me tonight and keep me warm

    This song is about knowing someone and knowing that they won't be with you forever; whether you think they 'just like you back' or if they 'love you back'. It's just about you two spending that one last night together, doing whatever you two can do. You know she's not gonna be there forever, it's not her obligation to do so... But, just for one night, you need her to be with you.

    I think it's about a long distance relationship. But I guess it can be interpreted however. But like, when he talks about taking the train when they're needed, it just sounds like something like distance is separating them and every next day is better than the one before... cause they're closer to being able to be with each other. I don't think it necessarily means their LAST night together...just their last for a while.

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
