And baby, why don't you just stay?
I'll sing you songs in bed all day
And I'll give you blankets just to keep you warm
Anything to keep you away from that door
But I can't keep you away

And now I know it, why you got to go
I was just hoping that I could say no
A kiss goodbye, and she don't touch my lips
Just walk away and then my stomach twists
Don't go, don't go
Baby, please don't go

And keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
Start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that you would stay
But you don't

And I came to see you and I should have known
A wasted plane ticket to Ohio
We're sleeping naked
I'm the one you chose
But who else see's you in this bed
Without your clothes?

I never believed a word you said
(You still don't)
I still don't

And you're so clever with the way you think
I'll never know it didn't mean a thing
And a kiss goodbye, and she don't touch my lips
Well, just walk away, cause I don't need that shit

Keep walking away
(Keep walking away)
And start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that you could stay
I only wish that you would...

And come and whisper in my ear
"If I don't come back, come and find me."
Always leave to make a scene
Pretty eyes, the joke's on me

Come and whisper in my ear
"If I don't come back, come and find me."
Always leave to make a scene
Pretty eyes, the joke's on...

Keep walking away
And start your car like you mean it this time
And I'll watch you from behind my bedroom window
As you're pulling away
I only wished that
I always wish
I only wish that you would stay
I only wish that you would stay, yeah

Keep walking
Keep walking
Keep walking
Keep walking
And keep walking away

Right now, your voice would shut me down
So shut me down
Right now, your voice would shut me down
So shut me down now

    first off, i am in love with archie star's album. this one mighttt be my favourite so far.

    anyway, this song is definitely about a relationship that's running on empty and coming to a halt. she realizes that there isn't anything left for either of them, but it seems he's not ready to let go just yet. they both still care about each other, which is why it's so hard to part ways. they've probably almost broken up several times & been having issues. as he watches her start the car and leave, part of him believes and hopes that maybe it'll be like all the other times--she'll end up staying. when she's finally gone, he gives a final effort to save their relationship & goes to ohio to see her. he realizes that her words don't have meaning in them anymore & she is loveless. they sleep together one night on his visit, but he comes to face the reality that he is not her only one anymore. this wasted trip finally seals the end of their relationship.

    Obviously its remembering a past relationship that no longer has the same spark it once did.

    i absolutely love this song. and its a sick reference to Entourage with the name and in the beginning when he says the line from Queens Boulevard. Just totally in love with this song.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
