I deem perfection by the words wrote in the letter.
And I wish,
And I wish it could always be better.
Wishing it could be...
I deem perfection no better,
Trying to make me,
Less bitter.
I deem perfection,
Perfection wrote in the letter.
The words you wrote in the letter.
Trying to make me less bitter,
That the letter,
No better,
Less bitter,
Try to make me less bitter.
Try to make me,
Less bitter.

Next time you think of mine, will you say it's the same?
And I wonder,
Will you think of the lives that your counterparts stricken?

Next time you think of mine will you say,
Will you say it's the same?

She means nothing.

What would you do if I decided to?
I've got a job for you.

Lumberjacks and logs,
And lillypads and frogs.
I broke one string now,
Three more to go.
Taken outside,
Be guarded by you.

How could you rape me?
Me and Marshall,
How could you rape me?
Me and Marshall sat and watched it,
How could you rape me?

Yeah!

Now what would you do if I decided to?
I broke one string now there's three more to go.
Before I take out and stamp on it again, y'know.

How could you rape me?
Me and Marshall,
How could you rape me?
Me and Marshall sat and watched it,
How could you rape me?

Next time you think of mine, will you say it's the same?
And I wonder,
Will you think of the lives that your counterparts stricken?

Next time you think of mine will you say?
Will you say it's the same?
Will you say it's the same?

I don't know, I don't know.
People say, "I don't know"
Everyday.

Yeah.
Prepare.
Yeah.

I won't take back no more,
I don't reject what I say.
Cause if I get what I like,
We'll take my time away.
Away.

Take my memories of her with you pack your shit and leave.
(AWAY!)
And take her fucking with you!

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Magical
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.
