Sitting in my car
We don't drive very far
The miles wouldn’t make a difference
The words I say
Cancel out the way
You'll think about me from now on
Don’t say a word
I know it sounds absurd
But I have reasons for what I’ve done
Though the fault is mine
And that fact haunts my mind
So I will make you take the blame somehow
You'll take it, yes you will

And I'll blame it on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I’ll blame it on the planes
That takes you miles away
I’ll blame it on the planes
Those god damn planes.

I drive you home
Take the longest road
Stop at every sign I see
And I keep my speed real slow
Before you leave
I take one last look
At something I can never have
Again, again
The worst part of all of this is
I’m the one who violated
All the codes we kept
The whole charade was bitter sweet
Cause as I was beneath the sheets
I was hoping you would call me
Just so I could hear your voice

And I'll blame in on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I’ll blame it on the planes
That take you miles away
I’ll blame it on the planes
Those god damn planes

Are you willing to give up those nights I spent over your house?
Straight from work I weaved through traffic just to sleep upon your couch
Now I feel like I have lost precious four years of my life
If you can end without a question over something that’s so shrine
This is the worst mistake I made and I make thousands everyday
If you give this one more shot I’ll make it up in everyway
Call you twice a day and drive you to the airport
Just so I can watch you leave… even if you’re leaving me.

    I think this song is about two people in a relationship, and one travels all the time [ refrence to planes] and while shes gone he cheated on her, and he had to tell her in the car [The miles wouldn’t make a difference The words I say Cancel out the way You'll think about me from now on Don’t say a word I know it sounds absurd But I have reasons for what I’ve done Though the fault is mine And that fact haunts my mind

    .< and >.

    I’m the one who violated All the codes we kept]

    but even tho he is the one who made the mistake he wants to blame it on her so he doesnt have to feel bad, and she will stay in the raletionship. and he just wants her to forgive him

    [[This is the worst mistake I made and I make thousands everyday If you give this one more shot I’ll make it up in everyway Call you twice a day and drive you to the airport ]]

    but thats just my take

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.

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.
