This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I broke a promise to myself
And took my heart down off the shelf
And hey, what a very, very fine day
What's the point in a kevlar vest
You put a hole into my chest
And oh, I know, two weeks are impossible
Don't say that you want me
Say that you need me
Let yourself go
Don't try pretending
There is no feeling
Left in your bones
Chase a rabbit in the ground
And wait for hours, no sight or sound
And oh, my soul, looking for an inch of hope
I stretch it lengthwise across the road
From Montreal to Mexico
Don't say that you want me
Say that you need me
Let yourself go
Don't try pretending
There is no feeling
Left in your bones
We are intersecting lines
We crash in flight
Like a rogue machine
You are ultraviolet light
It burns my eyes
And it's all I see
Don't say that you want me
Say that you need me
Let yourself go
Don't try pretending
There is no feeling
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
And took my heart down off the shelf
And hey, what a very, very fine day
What's the point in a kevlar vest
You put a hole into my chest
And oh, I know, two weeks are impossible
Don't say that you want me
Say that you need me
Let yourself go
Don't try pretending
There is no feeling
Left in your bones
Chase a rabbit in the ground
And wait for hours, no sight or sound
And oh, my soul, looking for an inch of hope
I stretch it lengthwise across the road
From Montreal to Mexico
Don't say that you want me
Say that you need me
Let yourself go
Don't try pretending
There is no feeling
Left in your bones
We are intersecting lines
We crash in flight
Like a rogue machine
You are ultraviolet light
It burns my eyes
And it's all I see
Don't say that you want me
Say that you need me
Let yourself go
Don't try pretending
There is no feeling
Let yourself go
Let yourself go

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

@[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
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.
"we are intersected lives we crash & fly like a war machine?? you are ultra violet light it glares my eyes?? it's all i see"
The correct lyric is "like a rogue machine" just like the title of the song. The rest of it looks right to me as best as I can tell.
Love the Daylights and this is an awesome song.
Okay, here are the correct lyrics as they are written in the booklet that comes in the CD:
I broke a promise to myself And took my heart down off the shelf And hey, what a very, very fine day What's the point in a kevlar vest You put a hole into my chest And oh, I know, two weeks are impossible
Don't say that you want me Say that you need me Let yourself go Don't try pretending There is no feeling Left in your bones
Chase a rabbit in the ground And wait for hours, no sight or sound And oh, my soul, looking for an inch of hope I stretch it lengthwise across the road From Montreal to Mexico And wait for hours, no sight or sound
Don't say that you want me Say that you need me Let yourself go Don't try pretending There is no feeling Left in your bones
We are intersecting lines We crash in flight Like a rogue machine You are ultraviolet light It burns my eyes And it's all I see
Don't say that you want me Say that you need me Let yourself go Don't try pretending There is no feeling Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Those are the lyrics as written by the Daylights in the album booklet so I assume that they're correct. Overall this is an AMAZING song and I hope that more people will discover this incredible band soon. They really are the best.
Oops! That "And wait for hours, no sight or sound" that comes after "From Montreal to Mexico" wasn't supposed to be there. Sorry about that.
Changed. Thank you!
