Babysitter

Morningwood

Close the door behind us
Don't open it to strangers
You know where to find us
Sure I got your numbers
(Don't you) You gotta start sometime (wanna sit next to me?)
Show me as I show you mine
(I'll show) Can you keep a secret? (you a secret, or two, or three)

Baby, Baby, (your such a) Baby, Baby
And one thing I chose to admit
Is that your momma momma momma
Shouldn't let me baby-sit

Can I crawl in bed with you?
I'll let you stay up real late
And do what you wanna do
If I can be a playmate
(Don't) You can be my boy scout (you need someone to tuck you in?)
But you gotta turn the lights out

Baby, Baby, (your such a) Baby, Baby
And one thing I chose to admit
Is that your daddy daddy daddy
Shouldn't let me baby-sit

You gotta start sometime
It might as well be now
I wanted you to be mine

[Repeat: x4]
Never let me baby-sit

Baby, Baby, (your such a) Baby, Baby
And one thing I chose to admit
Is that your momma momma momma
Shouldn't let me baby-sit

(Never let me) Baby (sit), Baby, (your such a) Baby, Baby (never let me)
And one thing I chose to admit
(Never let me) Is that your daddy daddy daddy
Shouldn't let me baby-sit

(Never let me) Baby (sit), Baby, (your such a) Baby, Baby
And one thing I chose to admit
Is that your momma momma momma
Shouldn't let me baby-sit

    I too think it's about roleplaying, the other way would be not only creepy but it wouldn't fit with most of the sexual/sensuality tone of the rest of the lyrics.

    I got hooked up from the first cords ;)

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
