It's easier to sleep, thirty-five thousand feet above the sea. Air
miles and turnstiles click, you close your eyes, adjust your seat. No
smoking signs, destination times, "Leave your baggage at the terminal
3". A one way ticket to escape: take flight, leave life behind on the
runway. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please, this
is your captain speaking. We are experiencing a total loss of control.
All of our engines have stopped, cabin pressure is falling fast, your
oxygen masks are located above your seats. We've lost radio contact
with air traffic control. It's a long way down and I'm told that the
water in the North Sea is freezing cold. As we plummet towards certain
death, if you look out the windows to your left you'll see your life
flashing before your eyes" (and it's ending one minute at a time).
You'll learn to fly with broken wings, to make perfect emergency
landings. I'll nose dive into uncharted waters, and they'll never
recover the wreck. This is the end.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
