My Geraldine Lies Over The Delaware

The Wonder Years

I can't take a breath
because the air stinks
and I can't take a step
without listening
to your fucking accent
while you're saying words with 'r's misplaced.

So, fuck Route 9.
I can pump my own gas
now you're crossing the line.
Yeah, fuck Route 9,
and your water tastes like ass just stay on your side.
And we'll leave tonight and
if you're okay to drive and
we'll leave this place behind.
Thank god we don't live here all the time.

And we'll leave tonight and
if you're okay to drive and
we'll leave this place behind.
Thank god we don't live here all the time.

You don't pay to get in,
but you pay to get out.

So, fuck Route 9.
I can pump my own gas
now you're crossing the line.
Yeah, fuck Route 9,
and your water tastes like ass just stay on your side.

Fuck Route 9!

And we'll leave tonight.
No we'll leave tonight.
So we'll leave tonight.
Thank god we don't live here all the time.

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”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
