Look at me I'm made of wonderful, wonderful
I'm all easy breath and steady
Walk, steady walking
But underneath I'm barely moving, no
Its like I'm nothing
All the ways they had to make
Me smile and then they go and break me

Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then
Would you love me then
Would you love me then

Look at me, I'm made of
Wonderful, it's terrible
I'm all easy come and easy go
As far as you know
But underneath, man, I'm just killing time
I guess I'm past my prime
And now I'm overrated,
Overdressed, and overstated

Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then
Would you love me then
Would you love me then

If I put my hands up, put your hands up
If I fall down
If I lose my place
And I don't know just where
I'm supposed to go
If you'll be there when I wake
Would you love me then?

And I come home tired
And I come home late
Everybody wants me
So I give it away
I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man

Would you love me then
Would you love me then
Would you love me then

    People who used to love him, are beginning to get bored or annoyed with him for no reason:

    "All the ways they have to make me smile, and then they go and break me"

    "And now I'm overrated, overdressed and overstated"

    (I think Rob Thomas may be talking about the media's ever-changing opinions of him)

    He feels the only way to make people like him is by pretending to be someone he's not. And no matter what he does, he falls short. He can't stop pretending because he desperately seeks his peer's approval.

    "No I can't be myself And I can't be nobody else but if I could Would you love me then?"

    So, he's frustrated because he's trying so hard, and people still have negative opinions of him. He's tired, confused, and he doesn't know what to do anymore.

    I love this song because it's so relatable, especially since I'm in high school.

    I was actually wondering....

    Do you still have to be put on a mask to find/keep people's approval after high school? Even, if you're not a 3-time Grammy-winning recording artist?

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”

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.
