When you showed up, you showed up right on time
An elegant sweetheart that just blew my mind
I guess the keys to my castle had always been there,
There for the taking
But nothing could prepare me
Sweet Sophia, girl one look at you and I was hooked
Sweet Sophia, thundering beds and the earthquake shook
With your heart-shaped lips and my breath that you took
With a fierce disposition like the beat of a drum
You get hurt more than others but you have more fun
I can't make it stop, so the love keeps on growing
And if it killed me today I'd be better off knowing
Sweet Sophia, girl one look at you and I was hooked
Sweet Sophia, burned all the pages and re-wrote the book
With your heart-shaped lips and my breath that you took
Well you know who I am and I know where you're from
You may blame me later, that's okay, my love
You're my finest hour, believe what I say
Though I might go, I will never stay away
Sweet Sophia, girl one look at you and I was hooked
Sweet Sohpia, you stole my soul with a laugh and a look
And your heart-shaped lips and my breath that you took
With your heart-shaped lips and my breath that you took
My breath, little girl, that you took
Sweet Sophia

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
