God I wish I could hate you for the rest of my...

You can never tell me I shouldn't walk away
It's foolish to assume that I'll be coming back another day And you were never right
and I was never wrong
Does truth lie in sincerity of another sullen song?

Cause you were right then
I should have been the one to release it
It's coming back to tease me
But I was just born
You're pride was too strong, well can you change it?
And are you willing to face it?
YEAH!

You can tell your story and coat it anyway,
but you will never change who you trying to play now
Your friends are falling out
They know you just don't care, they know you never did

Cause you were right then
I should have been the one to release it
It's coming back to tease me
But I was just born
You're pride was too strong, well can you change it?
And are you willing to face it?

Cause they say always the first one
is never as good as the next
Hey, it's just rock and roll
Even though you might think you lost it all
Cause the times, they are a changin
And who can predict what's next hey, you lost control
Even though you might have thought you had it all
and hey, hey, hey it's just rock and roll
And I'll never change
I love it just the same
I'll never change
Cause I love it just the same

God I wish I could hate you the rest of my life
God I wish I could hate you the rest of my life
God I wish I could hate you the rest of my life
God I wish I could hate you the for the rest of my..

God I wish I could hate you(god I wish I could hate you)
for the rest of my life(god I wish I could hate)
God I wish I could hate you(for the rest of my life)

(god I wish I could hate you)
Nothing would make me happier
(god I wish I could hate you)
Nothing would make me happier(for the rest of my life)

    song reminds me of my old girlfriend--never could quite tell what she was thinking about or if she was being sincere. then she dumped me for my worst enemy. and i hate her for the rest of my life.

    this is the first midtown song i ever heard. i heard it on the playing four-square cd (wicked cd. worth a listen) and i fucking, fell in love with it. this is one of my favorite songs of all time. cuz no matter how much i listen to it it still rocks. its so full of rage, but so melodic and happy.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
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.
Album art
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.

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.
