I'm gonna find someone to love me
For who I am, a perfect star
So lay your head down and you'll feel me
An empty prayer shot to the heart
And remember when you hold me
I'm everything you that you want and more
And if you find someone to love you like I can
That's what dog's are for

To find you with no one there
I'll kiss you in the black light

Will they still love you when you kiss the flame
Take you to the border in the ocean rain
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
I'll be your baby I'll say anything
Love you like a stranger

I kissed you in the movies
With a bitter heart and a cynic's eye
And yes Jesus walked on water
Died with grace and made you mine
So lay your head down and you'll feel me
An empty prayer, electric light
And if you find someone to love you
Remember me before it dies

To find you with no one there
I'll kiss you in the black light
You'll wipe away all my tears
We'll shiver in the midnight

Will they still love you when you kiss the flame
Take you to the border in the ocean rain
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
Slip inside the wire when you know for sure
To be your baby I'll say anything
I'll say anything
Love me like a stranger

So you say a prayer for the dying sun
From the car to the corner
Your will be done
Here on earth and little Tokyo
From the first street bridge to the neon glow
It's a suicide
Claim to fame
Paid testimony and a brand new name
So you load the gun
Here we go again
You're the face in the mirror my favorite sin
But you want revenge from the Lord above
So the rain comes down heavy like my love
Heavy like my love

Will they still love you when you kiss the flame
Take you to the border in the ocean rain
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
Slip inside the wire when you know for sure

Will they still love you when you kiss the flame
Take you to the border in the ocean rain
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
Slip inside the wire when you know for sure
To be your baby I'll say anything
I'll say anything
Just love me like a stranger

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
