Sit and watch, my TV set
What is on, will make it better (will make it better)
I wanna call and ask, what's up
Gonna dial but then I stopped (why don't you call)

To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie
If I could pretend, if I could lie
If I could lie
But I can't stay
No I can't stay

I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday

I like to read to you at night
Like to read till you feel better (until you're better)
Now's the time for us to begin
Not the time for us to give in (it's not the time)

To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie
If I could pretend, if I could lie
If I could lie
But I can't say
No I can't stay

I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday

You know that feeling when you're cold
How do you make it go away? (how do you make it go away)
You know that feeling when you're cold
How do you make it go away? (how do you make it go away)

To the end, my friend
Oh, what a lie
Oh, what a lie
If I could pretend, if I could lie
If I could lie
But I can't say
No I can't stay

I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
I run, run, run, run, run away
Get, get, get, get, get away
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday
But I'll be back someday
I'll be back someday

    From the album:

    They yell speak up. I fill these pages like I fill those spaces with my lies. They yell step down, a crowd’s not worth this and love’s not worthless, you’ve got to step up stranger.

    Might paint something I might want to hang here someday. Might write something I might want to say to you some day. Might do something I’d be proud of someday. Mark my words, I might be something someday.

    They yell right on, a class act president you are my boss, I am confident in your eyes.

    They yell move up, don’t stand back here and wait like an animal at a farmer's gate am I food or am I free?

    So speak up this is your last chance my friend, roll the windows down and take me in.

    Reach out say what you’re really about. Are you coming here or not, are you coming out?

    I don’t want to know that you don’t want me. I don’t want to know what you do without me. I don’t want to know what I’ll be without you, I don’t wanna know.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
