It's a touch and the change that threw me off
Just another of those lines you bent to cross
It's safe to say that this night you're heading
Heading in the wrong direction

Well who's to blame for you being away?
You know that's nothing for you to say
I needed something to hide the pain

So what's your reason for leaving now?
You never cared much for this place anyhow
Oh foolish girl you know that the past will always catch you

So just take me home, 'cause I need to be alone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone

It was a look on his face that turned her on
How could this feel so right and go so wrong?
It's safe to say that you were not ready
To let me be your one and only

It's such a shame that you threw it away
Trust me, I think about it every day
Just wish there's some way to make her stay

Just another reason to leave this town
I never cared much for this place anyhow
Oh jealous boy you know that your problems never left you

So just take me home, 'cause I need to be alone
All these songs play in my head
All the awful things she said
You can just take me home, 'cause I'm feeling more alone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone

So grab your keys, we're leaving now
Take me away, our times run out

I've been stuck in your shoes before
So I know the worst is still in store
Don't be afraid to just want more
Than what lies, in front of me
I build this up to break you down
And smear your name across this town

Now as you dive into the sea
I'm glad to see the violent green
My only hope is that you drown
One last way to make me proud
I'll do just fine here on my own
You'll never have to live alone

Take me home, I'm feelin' so alone
All these thoughts race through my head
Of all that could have been
So just take me home, 'cause I need to be alone
All these songs play in my head
All the awful things she said
So just take me home, 'cause I'm feeling more alone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone
Take me home
All these thoughts race through my head
All the awful things she did while I was gone

    The Correct Lyrics: (sorry about the mess ups before)

    It's a touch and the taste that threw me off Just another of those lines you're bound to cross. It's safe to say, "this night you're already Heading in the wrong direction."

    Well who's to blame for you being away? You know that's not fair for you to say I needed something to hide the pain...

    So what's your reason for leaving now? You never cared much for this place anyhow Oh foolish girl you know that the past will always catch you.

    So just take me home, 'cause I need to be alone. All these thoughts race through my head. All the awful things she did while I was gone.

    It was a look on his face that turned her on, How could this feel so right and go so wrong? It's safe to say that you were never ready, To let me be your one and only.

    It's such a shame that you threw it away, Trust me, I think about it every day. Just wish there's some way to make you stay...

    Just another reason to leave this town. I never cared much for this place anyhow. Oh jealous boy you know that you're pride will never let you.

    So just take me home, 'cause I need to be alone. All these songs play in my head, All the awful things she said. You can just take me home, 'cause I'm feeling more alone All these thoughts race through my head All the awful things she did while I was gone.

    So grab your keys, we're leaving now... Take me away, our times run out...

    I've been stuck in these shoes before, So I know the worst is still in store. Won't be afraid to just want more, Than what lies, in front of me. I build this up to break you down, And smear your name across this town.

    Now as you dive into the sea, of lies, deceit, pride and greed. My only hope is that you drown. One last way to make me proud.. I'll do just fine here on my own, You'll never have to live alone.

    Take me home, I'm feelin' so alone. All these thoughts race through my head Of all that could have been So just take me home, 'cause I need to be alone All these songs play in my head All the awful things she said So just take me home, 'cause I'm feeling more alone All these thoughts race through my head All the awful things she did while I was gone All these thoughts race through my head All the awful things she did while I was gone Take me home All these thoughts race through my head All the awful things she did while I was gone...

    This is the right version... except one line right after "dive into this sea..."

Album art
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Album art
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
