This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Here I am, where I’ve been
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
I was a dumb punk kid with nothing to lose
And too much weight for walking shoes.
I could have died from being boring.
As for loneliness,
She greets me every morning.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.
Here I am, where I’ve been
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
I was a dumb punk kid with nothing to lose
And too much weight for walking shoes.
I could have died from being boring.
As for loneliness,
She greets me every morning.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.
Here I am, where I’ve been
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.
At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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
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
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.
it's a beautiful song, and the line "as for lonliness, she greets me every morning".. it's kinda got a country twang, but park is def. one of the token songwriters of our generation
God I love this song, I first heard it on The OC, bought his CD, its terrific, went and saw him in concert, Patrick Park is a genius. I think its about someone that is rough around the edges, he "got nothing to lose" and he has a lot on him "too muchg wait for walking shoes" he is depressed, angry, bitter. And nothing is happening in his life for him "could have died from being boring." People don't pay he too much attention "at the most I'm a glare." His family is either very distant from him or very overbearing on him "hopeless son thats hardly there." He really wants to open up and let someone in, he wants help but he can;t bring himself to show that he needs it. "I’m the open sign that’s always busted." Then even if he lets you in he will test you and hurt you because he is "the friend you need but can't be trusted."
I just had a lot to say about this song because its pretty much a biography of my life it desrcibe everything I had gone through and everything I am still going through and the fact that he could convey all that in a song is brilliant to me.
i heard this song on the OC mix 2, it has a really cool sound to it. i'll have to try out some more of his songs.
heard it on OC aswell. The song is special, like it actually :)
didn't actually hear it on the oc but i heard it on the oc mix 2 cd from my girlfriend... right now we're broken up... maybe get back together eventually, but i'm just hoping she'll show me something pretty.
this song is definitely about having a rough life but having/finding someone there for you that you love but maybe dont feel you deserve either. sounds at some points in the song it could be about his mom
Great, amazing song. Fun to play. Pretty good chorus!! A l i t t l e bit country, but more or less an amazing acoustic song!! Much worth listening to!! ****
for me it sounds like some guy is having a rough time and needs someone to make him feel happy again.
like a lot of people i first heard this on oc mix 2 and i love the sound. it has a beachy feel to it and his voice is soothing. i don't think it's country, it actually reminds me of hawaii but now that i heard what ya'll are saying about country, i can hear that too. all in all this song is great.
Its not as much country as it is folk. Since country stems from folk thats why people say it sounds country. IMO its pretty much folk rock.
I agree with Jakemeiser's first comment. I also think its about someone who has had a very hard life, and he finds someone pretty, and he though he didnt deserve her, and some way or another they broke up, and now he want her back, but still doesnt think he should get the chance. Amazing song though
