This town was built on miles of hope
And I dare you to give me one reason to stay
And I won't go away.

So far you've only dared me once
And I think we know that's not even close enough.
Not enough for me to stay.

It costs so much I know,
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right.

But I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting,
Just like I've always been.

I'm getting tired of standing around,
Just sitting here and waiting to be found.
Same old shit just different day.

I'll wait around for one more day
But I know that's what I will always say
Will this ever be OK?

It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right

Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been

It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right

Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been

Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day

I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you

I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you

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.

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.
