Only For Me

2AM Club

I remember when it used to be easy
Used to look cute watching the TV
Used to lay there with wet hair
After the shower picking what to wear
But now you're dressing up for somebody else
Looking through my glass as the ice melts
Looking at the past just won't help
I just don't know how the chips all fell

Maybe 'cause I didn't follow through
Gave love I didn't follow suit
How you'd say "I'll always follow you"
I remember when it was

Only for me
Only for me
Only for me
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
Only for me
Only for me
Ain't that how it's supposed to be

I remember when it used to be fair
No games just truth or dare
No shame you used to care
You gave the goosebumps I don't wanna share
But now you're giving them to somebody else
Watching TV on somebody's couch
Blouse on the floor in somebody's house
I just don't know how it all went South

Maybe 'cause I got down to much
Too many too down to touch
But with you I never gave enough
I remember when it was

Only for me
Only for me
Only for me
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
Only for me
Only for me
But you know that I'll go on and

Wander 'til I get somewhere
Wander like I just don't care
I'll wander knowing it's not fair
I'll wander, look look looking

Wander 'til I get somewhere
Wander like I just don't care
I'll wander knowing it's not fair
I'll wander, look look looking

I'll wander, 'til I find someone
But it's just not you so I'm just not done
I could make a million calls to new tongues
I could find a million girls, I want one

You could draw a million lines in gold sand
I could walk across and hope to slow dance
A million love letters now turned to dust
And I remember when it was

Only for me
Only for me
Only for me
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
Only for me
Yeah

'Cause I remember when it was
Only for me
Only for me
Only for me
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
Only for me
Only for me
And you know that I'll go

Wander 'til I get somewhere
Wander like I just don't care
I'll wander knowing it's not fair
I'll wander, look look looking

Wander 'til I get somewhere
Like I just don't care
I'll wander knowing it's not fair
I'll wander, look look looking

I'll wander, 'til I find someone
But it's just not you so I'm just not done
I could make a million calls to new tongues
I could find a million girls, I want one

Only for me
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
Only for me
Only for me
Ain't that how it's supposed to be

    Song Meaning

    One of the best songs on the album, that's for sure. I'm not sure why this got combined with the lyrics for Flashing Room, though. As for the meaning:

     "I remember when it used to be easy
  Used to look cute watching the TV
  Used to lay there with wet hair
  After the shower picking what to wear" ~He is reminiscing, thinking back to their relationship

 "But now you're dressing up for somebody else
  Looking through my glass as the ice melts
  Looking at the past just won't help
  I just don't know how the chips all fell" ~She's with someone else-Where did it all go wrong?

 "Maybe cuz I didn't follow through
  Gave love I didn't follow suit
  How you'd say 'I'll always follow you'" ~Sees his own faults-tries to figure out what happened

    The chorus basically represents him remembering when she made an effort for and loved him-and only him. 

     "Wander till I get somewhere
  Wander like I just don't care
  I'll wander knowing it's not fair
  Wander, look look looking
  Wander till I get somewhere 
  Wander like I just don't care
  I'll wander knowing it's not fair
  Wander, look look looking" ~Trying to get over her and find someone else

 "Wander, til I find someone 
  But it�s just not you so I�m just not done
  I could make a million calls to new tongues 
  I could find a million girls, I want one" ~He wants HER

  "You could draw a million lines in gold sand
  I could walk across and hope to slow dance
  A million love letters now turned to dust" ~It's over-forever

    Basically, he is trying to accept that she isn't his anymore. He lost his chance and she's moved on. He wants her to come back...and love only him. I'm pretty sure we can all relate to that. :P

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Plastic Bag
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.
