These heavy tears I'm crying
They turn my smile into a frown
Oh, these heavy tears I'm crying
They turn my smile into a frown
When I met you baby
Done turned my whole world upside down

I been looking round for heaven
But hell's fury's all I found
I been looking round for heaven
But hell's fury's all I found
I'm feeling lower than the ground
I gotta look up to see what's down

You used to stay out all night long
Sleep in all the day
I'd come in through the front door
You'd sneak out the back way
You bought us a new car
Made damn sure I paid
You swore you'd never leave me
As you slowly drove away

These heavy tears I'm crying
They twist my smile into a frown
When I met you baby
Done turned my whole world upside down, ohh oh

    This song really relates to me right now.

    I go to university miles away from my home town. I went home for the holiday and met a guy, we instantly clicked, spent the whole holiday together I had to go back to university. we are miles apart from each other. We talk every day. (Connected to you by a mobile) We can't visit each other because we are too busy working (I�m here you are there. Upside: working Downside: hurting )

    All I can think about is how much I miss him. I hope we see each other soon, it would be a great disappointment if distance tears us apart. Its great having him (Upside: Love you) but all we want to do is see each other (Downside: Miss you)

    Tim Booth, you are a star

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”

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
