This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What a surprise I found you here
What a surprise you came to me
What a surprise I held within, oh
What a great mess we're in
You always covered your ears when I confessed
How I like you, I like you, I like you
So is it true what the saying says? Whatever, whatever
You didn't need a private caller, I didn't need another friend
You never picked up the receiver till you grabbed me by the hand
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another man
Till I was on the other end, till I was on the other end
What a surprise you drank some wine
What a surprise you're drunk and fly
What a surprise you understand I'm
Figuring out where to land
You always covered my eyes when you undress
But I see you, I see you, I see you
So is it true what the saying says? Well whatever, whatever
You didn't need a private caller, I didn't need another friend
You never picked up the receiver till you grabbed me by the hand
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another man
Till I was on the other end, till I was on the other end
You're calling me a private caller
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another friend
You never picked up the receiver till you grabbed me by the hand
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another man
And never ever had his powers, never ever had a plan
You didn't need a private caller, till I was on the other end
Till I was on the other end, till I was on the other end
You're calling me a private caller
What a surprise you came to me
What a surprise I held within, oh
What a great mess we're in
You always covered your ears when I confessed
How I like you, I like you, I like you
So is it true what the saying says? Whatever, whatever
You didn't need a private caller, I didn't need another friend
You never picked up the receiver till you grabbed me by the hand
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another man
Till I was on the other end, till I was on the other end
What a surprise you drank some wine
What a surprise you're drunk and fly
What a surprise you understand I'm
Figuring out where to land
You always covered my eyes when you undress
But I see you, I see you, I see you
So is it true what the saying says? Well whatever, whatever
You didn't need a private caller, I didn't need another friend
You never picked up the receiver till you grabbed me by the hand
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another man
Till I was on the other end, till I was on the other end
You're calling me a private caller
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another friend
You never picked up the receiver till you grabbed me by the hand
You didn't need a private caller, you didn't need another man
And never ever had his powers, never ever had a plan
You didn't need a private caller, till I was on the other end
Till I was on the other end, till I was on the other end
You're calling me a private caller

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Sondre's interested in a girl, but she doesn't want to commit, and he's stuck as a "private caller:" a small secret kept "on the other end," away from the rest of her life. Yet, Sondre persists. He slowly gets closer to her, despite the wall she put up around her. Will he win her over? Who knows?
It reminds me of my relationship now. I've known this guy as my friend for over two years and one day I woke up and realized I had feelings for him and he had been there all along.
I came back to this song because I'm trying to pick our wedding song. We got engaged March 1st. :)
