so we sit at this table
with our hands in our laps
and we have a few drinks
and we share a few laughs
but now those days have passed
and they're not coming back
it's a shame cus thats all that i had

and we'll sing out loud for hours
till a morning that we know we can't avoid
these nights are noteable and priceless
but i swear that every word i say
i'll mean until my dying day
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing

so keep things quiet
till the rest of the street falls asleep
then we'll break out
show everyone just what we're made of
so young
let's abuse it all and have a little fun
i'll drink to that
let's drink to that

and i'll sing out loud for hours
till a morning that we know we cant avoid
these nights are noteable and priceless
and i swear that every word i say
i'll mean until my dying day
it's a shame
when i wake i cant recall a thing
it's a shame
when i wake i cant recall a thing

i've got some problems
but we've got ten dollars
that's enough to get us wasted
before the night is over
these past five days
i've been completely sober
but tonight i'm gettin ripped wide open
(x2)
but tonight i'm gettin ripped wide open

and we'll sing out loud for hours
till a morning that we know we can't avoid
these nights are noteable and priceless
and i swear that every word i say
i'll mean until my dying day
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing
it's a shame
when i wake i can't recall a thing

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
