I know that you're goin', I can't make you stay
I can only let you know I love you anyway
And if the road you take leads to heartbreak
Somewhere down the line
If someone ever hurts you
Or treats your heart unkind

You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms, and these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has found your heart, never fear, I'm never far
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you

I want you happy, I want the best for you
And if you have to leave to find your dream, I hope that dream comes true
But if the world you find brings you hard times
If someone makes you cry
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be standing by

You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms, and these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has found your heart, never fear, I'm never far
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you

Oh, my love is strong enough, you know
Strong enough to let you go
But I always hold you inside my heart
And if you should ever change your mind
You can come back anytime
And when you do (and when you do)

You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms, and these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has found your heart, never fear, I'm never far
You just run to the arms of the one
Run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms, and these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has found your heart, never fear, I'm never far
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
Run to the arms of the one who loves you

    This song means to me that, like if you are in a relationship between two people, run to the one that loves you the most.

    ok...wow that's a genius answer...if the one line of the song is "run to the arms of the one who loves you" the song is actually about a girl who really loves the guy and knows that it's only best to let him go if that's what he wants b/c she wants him happy and she wants to tell him that no matter what she truley loves him and will always be there for him and if he has no where to turn turn to her!!!!!!

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
