While I drink this morning blood,
It's got a sour grip on me

I can hear that train approaching
To take me, silently

But I won't, go where I should,
For I'm scared, of what I'll find

And I'll lie, and say I love you
And let my train, go rolling by

Cause people do, what they don't mean to do

And I will speak, in diagrams
Of a dream and of a poem

A building block to stand on,
Of a true love, rarely known

But it's thin, and made of wind
It's a leveling typhoon

And I'll lie, and say I love you
For it's the only thing to do

And people live,
How they don't mean to live

Giving up,
Is all you've got to give

::instrumentation::

Now I'm gray, and you are mean
And we're stuck in what we've learned

In my mind, I'm still a bandit
With an empire to overturn

But I'll sit, this table set,
Past the milk I'd rather throw

And just lie and say I love you
For it's the only thing I know.

And people do, what they don't mean to do

And people live, how they don't mean to live

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
