Don't say it's like a fantasy
When you know this is how it should be
You kiss me
I'm falling can you hear me calling
You touch me, I want you
Feels like I've always known you

On a night like this
I want to stay forever (stay forever)
On a night like this
Just want to be together
On a night like this

(On a, on a, on, on a, on a, on)
(On a, on a, on, on a, on a, on)
Now I'm getting closer to you
Hold me, I just can't be without you
You kiss me, I'm falling
It's your name I'm calling
You touch me, I want you
Feels like I've always known you

On a night like this
I want to stay forever (stay forever)
On a night like this
Just want to be together
On a night like this

Seems like I've known you a lifetime (lifetime)
Now it's time to make you mine
On a night like this
On a night like this, oh

(You kiss me, I'm falling)
(You touch me)

On a night like this
Just want to be together

On a night like this
I want to stay forever (stay forever)
On a night like this
Just want to be together
On a night like this

(You kiss me, I'm falling)
(You touch me)

On a night like this
(You kiss me, I'm falling)
(You touch me)

On a night like this
(You kiss me, I'm falling)
(You touch me)
On a night like this

    My Interpretation

    In my interpretation (with the music video's influence, too) I get the idea that she is in a relationship where she gets bored or is a more of a trophy wife (maybe for a very highly respected figure because in v1 she talks about how the other person could view her as a fantasy), etc. and she ends up seeking out the company of another person. She falls in love with this other person to the point where she can't be without them. She then breaks off her old relationship to be with this new person. Just my opinion.

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.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
