I think you know, but just for the record
I only like you for your large hands
And I must admit I'm jealous cause mine are small
But I'll still use them to slap the grease off of that photogenic man

Because if you're gone then I'm gone,
Whatever road you are on, I know we'll survive
Just as long, just as long as you drive

I'll hold my arms up til the blood drains from my fingertips
My shoulder blades with burn but I won't be the first to quit
But I can't watch as your apendages fall from your sleeves
I wanna put you back together if you'll let me

If you're gone then I'm gone,
Whatever road you are on, I know we'll survive
Just as long, just as long as you drive

I found a piece of you on the floor next to couch
Near the gummi bears that your mom left out
I found a piece of you, under the desk
Near the cross word that you never finished
I belive in something, that's looking down
And you've watched that something smash my face into the ground
And I was convinced that there was nothing left to put me through
Until I thought that I might lose you

If you're gone then I'm gone
Whatever road you are on, I know we'll survive
Just as long, just as long, just as long
If you're gone then I'm gone
Whatever road you are on, I know we'll survive
Just as long, just as long, just as long
If you're gone then I'm gone
Whatever road you are on, I know we'll survive
Just as long, just as long, just as long
Just as long as you drive

    Can't help but think that it sounds more like "as long as you try" in the second run of the chorus.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
