Poor boy, rich girl, what a cliché
One car, two hearts, wanna run away
'Cause they know it was meant to be
His little bullet in a shotgun seat, yeah
Poor boy, rich girl, bit like you and me
So come on

Hey, yeah, I promise you your daddy gon' be alright
Oh, baby, you were such a good girl all your life
So what we cause a little trouble?
So what we don't sleep tonight?
Oh, baby, I promise you your daddy's gon' be alright
Gonna be alright

Little renegade love out there on the run
Yeah, two innocent souls with a smoking gun
Yeah, they were living the American dream
His little beauty in some cut-off jeans, yeah
Small town cliché, bit like you and me
So come on

Hey, yeah, I promise you your daddy gon' be alright
Oh, baby, you were such a good girl all your life
So what we cause a little trouble?
So what we don't sleep tonight?
Oh, baby, I promise you your daddy's gon' be alright
Gonna be alright

Well, they can tell you what to think, yeah
But they can't tell you who to love
So, baby, come along with me, leave it in the dust
Ay yeah, I promise you your daddy's gonna be alright
So come on

Hey, yeah, I promise you your daddy gon' be alright
Oh, baby, you were such a good girl all your life
So what we cause a little trouble?
So what we don't sleep tonight?
Oh, baby, I promise you your daddy's gon' be alright
Gonna be alright

He's gonna be alright, oh, baby
You been a good girl all your life
He's gonna be alright

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
