Another late night driving around
We're losing sunlight so we head downtown
To Woodward off Charlotte Street
The old place that we used to meet

We were young and we lived it up
But those nights never lasted long enough
Looking back we're so naive
What happened to the days when we shared our dreams?

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh, it feels so good
To say

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah, we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
Always, forever
Weathered yellow still frames in my head
Always, forever

The sun rise would beat us to sleep
We didn't wanna go home so slept on the beach
Oh, the summer never felt so sweet
I still feel the sand in underneath my feet

Memories of the nights that faded
I don't know how the hell we made it
Looking back we had everything
Those were the days when we shared our dreams

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah, we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
The secondhand kiss of a summer night
For always, forever

Even though some time has passed
And we've gone our separate ways
No matter how far apart we'll always have our memories

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh, it feels so good
To say

Oh, it feels so good

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah, we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
Endless copper street lamps on my mind
For always, forever
At Woodward, Charlotte Street

    whats the song actually about?

    is it about the fact that even though they are over, they are still on good terms. and they enjoyed the relationship they had and would do it again if they could?

    i just kind of get that from this bit -

    'We were young and we lived it up But those nights never lasted long enough Looking back, we're so naive What happened to the days When we shared our dreams? If I could go back now I wouldn't change a thing'

    and also this bit

    'Yeah, we made our mistakes But we followed our hearts Even though we drift apart For always, forever'

    i'm not sure how to describe it, but is it about having a good relationship with an ex. and how good your relationship was when you were together? and there will always be a part of them that still has feelings for each other. and you would do it all again...

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
