Celebrating childhood dreaming
Taking in these waterfalls
Before the world got so deceiving
Before you thought you knew it all
The beauty of this scene was hitting
By every year gone by
And now you're thinking love forbidding
When you can't even cry

At least there's hope
Hope, until there's nowhere left to go,
Hope, until there's nowhere left to go, no

Here you are on a break walk singing
Trying to miss as the world walks by
A full moon over red lights singing
To the clouds of a rusty sky
Never less visions, it makes no sense at all
All you are is another victim
Jumping in these waterfalls

And there's no hope
Hope, until there's nowhere left to go
Hope, and now there's no time left to
Even let go
Can't even let go
Can't even let go
Can't even let go
Oh, until there's nowhere left to go

One day breathless you know
Leaves you naked and exposed
Ah, yeah
Ever think that the suns gonna rise
And the worlds gonna spin
And it makes it worse

Hope, until there's nowhere left to go
Hope, until there's no time left to
Even let go
Can't even let go
Can't even let go
Can't even let go

Hope, until there's nowhere left to go
Hope, until there's nowhere left to go
Hope, now there's nowhere left to go

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
