This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I don't think I want this anymore
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself "you've left before
This time you will stay gone, that's for sure"
And he shattered something else
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway she had never gone that far
Normally this would be the time
That she would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time without crying
As she got into her car, she said
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall
As she drove away, she starts to smile
Realize she hadn't for a while
No destination she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial
Laughing about the way he shattered something else
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway she had never gone that far
Normally this would be the time
That she would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time without crying
As she got into her car, she said
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall
I'm done, I'm done
Said I'm so done
I'm so done
I'm so done
I'm free, I'm free
Said I'm so free
I'm so free
I'm so free
She inhaled a breath, she'd never breathe before
Didn't want no drama no more, and she said
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall ooh, no ooh
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall ooh, no ooh
Another teardrop fall
I never let no, I never let no, I never let another teardrop
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself "you've left before
This time you will stay gone, that's for sure"
And he shattered something else
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway she had never gone that far
Normally this would be the time
That she would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time without crying
As she got into her car, she said
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall
As she drove away, she starts to smile
Realize she hadn't for a while
No destination she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial
Laughing about the way he shattered something else
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway she had never gone that far
Normally this would be the time
That she would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time without crying
As she got into her car, she said
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall
I'm done, I'm done
Said I'm so done
I'm so done
I'm so done
I'm free, I'm free
Said I'm so free
I'm so free
I'm so free
She inhaled a breath, she'd never breathe before
Didn't want no drama no more, and she said
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall ooh, no ooh
No happily never after, that just ain't for me
Because finally
I know I deserve better after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall ooh, no ooh
Another teardrop fall
I never let no, I never let no, I never let another teardrop

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
The lyrics are ordinary, however I'm in love with this song!! It's so cute, and affective. Better than the Backstreet Boys version, because it's more simple, and sounds more meaningful..
