Sometimes
I wanna pack it all up
Get on a bus
And move to Vermont
Or Maine, or any
Of those states
Back east
That I remember
Sometimes
I wanna go back to school
An east coast college
With some history
I'd be satisfied, I know
In the simple things
Longtime
Sunshine upon me
Sometimes
I wanna build a house
With a wood stove
Or a fireplace
In the middle
Of the living room
An old piano
Sometimes
It don't seem so bad
Settle down
With a good woman
Leave this
Lonely life behind
Forever and ever
Longtime
Sunshine upon me
Sometimes
I wanna get in a car
Close my eyes
And drive real fast
Keep on going
Till I get some place
Where I can truly rest
Longtime
Sunshine upon me
I wanna pack it all up
Get on a bus
And move to Vermont
Or Maine, or any
Of those states
Back east
That I remember
Sometimes
I wanna go back to school
An east coast college
With some history
I'd be satisfied, I know
In the simple things
Longtime
Sunshine upon me
Sometimes
I wanna build a house
With a wood stove
Or a fireplace
In the middle
Of the living room
An old piano
Sometimes
It don't seem so bad
Settle down
With a good woman
Leave this
Lonely life behind
Forever and ever
Longtime
Sunshine upon me
Sometimes
I wanna get in a car
Close my eyes
And drive real fast
Keep on going
Till I get some place
Where I can truly rest
Longtime
Sunshine upon me

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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It's about escape. Giving all the fake shit up to do what he really wants. It's a recurring theme in weezer songs, Rivers wanting to get away from his life.
