And the boss has got you staying late.
Have a bath, feed the cat, you've got to be at work again at 8
And when you start to get the feeling tomorrow's gonna feel a lot like today
You hear your boyfriend's voice on the message machine,
Begging, and this is what he's got to say
And he said,

"Baby life's worth living
But we lived it all before.
And if the world's worth seeing,
There ain't nothing we ain't seen before.
And now we're takin' and givin'
But you're takin' this crazy tone.
So maybe life's worth living,
But don't leave me in this time alone,
Just don't leave me in this time alone."

Two hours later,
There's a knock on the door
And it's your boyfriend's screaming out.
And he said,
"If you go ahead and open up the door,I'm gonna go and knock it down."
And he said,
"Remember good times baby like at prom when we were king and queen.
Or the day we both applied at the factory job to get the money that would buy our dreams."
And I said,

"Baby life's worth living
But we lived it all before.
And if they world's worth seeing
There ain't nothing we ain't seen before.
And now we're takin' and givin' but you're takin' this crazy tone.
So maybe life's worth living,
But don't leave me in this time alone,
Just don't leave me in this time alone."

Yeah...yeah

And on Thursday, the cops kicked down your door
And found a note to every child to man
It said,
"I left it all to day and tomorrow I'm gonna start again.
If you think on the day you die you, you're gonna feel as full as you do now,
Then it's already over,
It's already over.
Cuz, Baby life's worth living
And there's so much I haven't didn't before
If the world's worth seeing
There's so many thing's i haven't seen before.
We were taking and giving and now i'm taking it on my own
Cuz Baby, maybe life's worth living,
life's worth living,
Yeah, life's worth living."

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”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
