Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
You're standing there alone
And so am I
But I want you here
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
You're standing there alone
And so am I
But I want you there
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want you here with me
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want to be
You and me
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my hearting beating so hard
We look eye to eye
And im swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
And so am I
But I want you here
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
You're standing there alone
And so am I
But I want you there
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want you here with me
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want to be
You and me
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my hearting beating so hard
We look eye to eye
And im swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.

@[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 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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
RUFIO...RUFIO...RUUUUUUFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOO
isn't that from the movie "hook"?
thats what I thought too! I was like whoa flashback! : )
haha yeah...that was sucha great movie.
it totally kicked ass, bangarang!!!
They're a pop punk band as opposed to a punk band and they're pretty good,this song is sweet and yeah hook does rule
A very good little song about, what seems to me, your typical middle school dance. It brought back some memories, but nothing too special. I think Jawbreaker writes better love songs.
umm.....two words dumb fuks.....ok dis would be song meanings not lets fukin talk about tha gay ass movie hook! yes rufio is very tite and jawbreaker is a good band but i think dat the ataris write better love songs..... late - e
To all of you who like have conversations here...it's annoying, save it for IM if you want to comment on a band go for it but shut up about hook!!! And this song is awesome, to people like "Greenday Rule" OK, it really pisses me off when people come on here and judge songs like their some kind of reviewer, like only their opinion matters and after its said any debate is settled. Just shut up. I love this song, the lyrics, the music the whole, maybe it is middle school-ish sounding but i still love it. Love Always, QTchik16k
Punk e, your really starting to annoy me, if your gonna talk like that, do it on the lyrics for a rap song, not a friggin punk song. Andrew
