As we share this simple night
Do you understand that I
I could never tell a lie

So we all know by now
That you are your favorite thing
Oh when I hear you coming now

So please allow me to introduce myself
I'm the one that you talk about
Imagine if you held me any tighter
It will be just as easy to leave me and let me go

It's the way that you are
And you can't breathe without me

Take a few steps back and just watch
The sun sets around me every day
With our heads in the clouds, its hard to see whats going on on the floor
I know that every time I sing you, you will want to sing along
Lets try our hardest to do, what has already been done

Bunch of boys that have it easy
Oh they live in a dream
But its not that simple no, sometimes we feel just like machines
Oh

(can't breathe without me)

Take a few steps back and just watch the sunsets around me every day
With our heads in the clouds, its hard to see what's going on the floor
I know that every time I sing you, you will want to sing along
Lets try our hardest to do, what has already been done

(can't breathe without me)

Take a few steps back and just watch
the sun sets around me every day
With our heads in the clouds, its hard to see what's going on the floor
I know that every time I sing you, you will want to sing along
Lets try our hardest to do, what has already been done

?

Stare, all you want
Cause you know that we're on top
This is all that we know
This is everything you want
If you can't stand on your own
Then speak up let us know
Tones will change,
Curtains will drop
Who knew the top would be so fucking ugly

Stare, all you want
Cause you know that we're on top
This is all I've ever known
This is everything you want
If you can't stand on your own
Then speak up, let us know
Tones will change and curtains will drop
Who knew the top would be so fucking ugly

I know that every time I sing, you will want to sing along
Lets try our hardest to do, what has already been done [x2]

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
