Awful Direction

The Almost

Well, I’ve given me the- me the creeps
I need you to make- to make- to make me weak
I have made my world my own- I made it my own
And I have never been so alone

I can’t stop my brain from moving
In an awful direction, Lord
I can’t stop my hands from doing
What I don’t want to anymore
I’ve been wrong
I’ve been right
But tonight, I just want to be yours

I’m playing this out to be all about me
I am wrong- can you help me?

I can’t stop this brain from moving
In an awful direction, Lord
I can’t stop these hands from doing
What I don’t want to anymore
I’ve been wrong
I’ve been right
But tonight, I just want to be yours

I’ve got to let go of all of this
Cause I’m dragging me down

I can’t stop my brain from moving
In an awful direction, Lord
I can’t stop my hands from doing
What I don’t want to anymore
I’ve been wrong
I’ve been right
But tonight, I just want to be yours

I just want to be yours
I just want to be yours

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
