she likes to keep to herself,
but I would also love to keep her.
she may sleep all alone
but she's not the only lonely sleeper.

when a bunch of realistic schemes seep into my daydreams
she's got the disinfectant.
when all I've gotten myself is lost she'll buy my heart at any cost,
and it's such a safe investment

CHORUS:
I may look like clarke kent,
but I'm no superman,
I'm just a mild-mannered kid
looking for my lois lane
Whoa, I know she what I see when my eyes close
Whoa, I know when she's gone where she goes

I'd throw rose petals at her feet and feed her all that she could eat
a thousand kisses I would send her.
I'd make her be my valentine, I'd wash my mouth with turpentine,
I'd even like her if she changed her gender.

CHORUS

    I thought it was "A mild-mannered Kent, looking for my Lois Lane"?

    I think that makes more sense.

    And I agree with you Hindenberg - that is one of my biggest pet peeves!

    But so is lack of punctuation, because it also makes things look like a big blob... Get my drift?

    Actually, I always sing "gent" not "kent" or "kid" at the "I'm just a mild-mannered ** looking for my Lois Lane" part.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.
