You were my ticket out of here
And I was your dream come true
You gave me everything I ever wanted
Except for you

I convinced myself that over don't mean over
And I convinced myself that I could fix it all
Two dreams collided
And maybe we got too excited
For our own good

No more hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the words all break it
Move on you know we'll be stronger in the end

Now I convinced myself that nothing could ever tear me away
And I convinced myself that we'd look back and laugh at this one day
Two lives collided
And maybe we got too excited
For our own good

No more hold on we can make it
No more holding our breath while the truth all breaks it
Move on you know we'll be stronger in the end

Hey wait hey don't you know
That this is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait hey don't you want
To hear what I have to say
Hey wait hey don't you know
This is where the strong will go on

All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was you

No more hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the world tries to break us
Move on you know we'll be stronger in the end

Hey wait hey don't you know
That this is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait hey don't you want
To hear what I have to say
Hey wait hey don't you know
This is where the strong will go on

All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was you

    when i first heard this song it hit me hard...im just about to graduate highskool....and moving to college...and me and my bf are havin problems...he is moving to a whole other continent....and i am tryin to come to terms to it...and the line where it says:

    "Move on you know we'll be stronger in the end"

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.

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.
