Yo
Look I know we've been,
been friends for a minute
but I think it's time we trust the situation

I know how you feel
you know how I feel
I just wanna put it out there.
(oh baby)(I need you oooh)
I gotta say you're a hell of a woman
Like a new drop in the summer
Pull me over the weather when I'm under,
Did u know, you do that for me
And I wonder sometimes why,
You be taking your time I

I know it's goin' be right
Girl I put that on my life

You be giving me the coldest shoulder
Cause you don't want your emotions taking over
Instead you talking about you Looking for a soldier

Are you trying say you don't see that in me
I know that were friends,
but taking it there wont mess it up
Please just trust in me
Girl I got you cant you see?
(Ohhhh Ohhh)
Baby girl it's killing me
Why you trying to act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see
(You Should Be With)
You Should Be With Me

Fix your heart up,
Before you give it to someone (Ohh)

Someone who don't deserve it,
who's going to hurt it baby

(You Should Be With Me)

Like a scene from my favorite movie
Hard to control myself when you're next to me
If it's against the law to love then sue me
Girl this whole thing got me in disbelief
I know it takes time
To build something that's worth while, But
Just in case you didn't hear me
I'mma say it again more clearly
(I need ya)
Like a bed need some covers
(I need ya)
Baby we need each other

(I need ya)
Like a comedian needs a joke

(I need ya)
Baby I need you the most

(baby)
My heart's beating

Can't you hear it
If I'm the music
You're my lyrics
(oooh)

Baby girl it's killing me (girl it's killing me)
Why you trying to act like you don't (why you trying to act like)
Like you don't see what I see (oooh)

(You Should Be With)
You Should Be With Me

Fix your heart up, (hey)
Before you give it to someone (someone)

Someone who don't deserve it,
who's going to hurt it baby

(You Should Be With Me)
I know you're looking out for you
(but you got ta understand)

That I'm lookin out for us too
(Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh)

So baby you should just give me your heart

And I swear I won't tear it apart
(Nooo)
(ooohh)
Baby girl it's killing me
Why you trying to act like you don't
Like you don't see (like you don't see) what I see (Ohh Ohh Ohh)

(You should be with)
You should be with me
Fix your heart up (baby fix your heart up, before you do with it what you want to),
Before you give it to someone

Someone who's going to hurt it,
who's going to hurt it baby
(I just want to tell you)

(You should be with me)
Baby girl it's killing me (ahaaah)
Why you trying to act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see

(You should be with)
You should be with me
Fix your heart up, (oh)
Before you give it to someone

Someone who's going to hurt it,
who's going to hurt it baby

(You should be with me)
Baby girl it's killing me (hey)
Why you trying to act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see

(You should be with)
You should be with me
Fix your heart up,
Before you give it to someone

Someone who's going to hurt it,
who's going to hurt it baby

(You should be with me)

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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”

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
