Your Favorite Song

Stereo Skyline

All these years I've looked for something to look back to,
to make her laugh,to shed the tear
That's been locked up for years.

And I know this might sound
Like I'm screaming out for help,
But every single time you said the line:
"I promise you" I know that you lied.

Don't kiss this goodbye
I wish that I would of waited for you
I'm waiting for you.
And don't kiss this goodbye
I wish that I would of waited for you
I'm waiting for you

Wait for rain on driveway pavement
and I'll be there
(I'll be there)
singing you your favorite song
singing you your favorite song (you your favorite song)

Cancel the magazines (cancel)
Let's keep these feelings safe.
Already got their issues
and they're due for an update
Step off (step off)
Let's conversate (conversate)
Take a second for a breath,
we've got forever to say:

Don't kiss this goodbye
I wish that I would of waited for you
I'm waiting for you.
And don't kiss this goodbye
i wish that I would of waited for you
I'm waiting for you.

Wait for rain on the driveway pavement
and I'll be there
(I'll be there)
Singing you your favorite song
Singing you your favorite song (you your favorite song)

your favorite song

wait for rain, oh (x6)

wait for rain on driveway pavement
and I'll be there
(I'll be there)
Singing you your favorite song,
Singing you your favorite song (you your favorite song)
(repeat)
(I'll be there)

Wait for rain, oh
Yeah wait for rain, oh
Yeah wait for rain
I'll sing you your favorite song.

    The line in this verse:

    And I know this might sound Like I'm screaming out for help, But every single time you said the line: "I promise you" I know that you lied.

    the 'And I know this might sound' is supposed to be 'And I know that this might sound'

    Also, Don't kiss this goodbye I wish that I would of waited for you I'm waiting for you. And don't kiss this goodbye I wish that I would of waited for you I'm waiting for you

    is wrong. The part ‘I wish that I would of waited for you’ should be ‘I wish that I would HAVE waited for you’ it’s just basic english

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.
