Hold on to my hand
Never let go, never let go
We were just two kids acting tough
Then we grew up, me, not so much
All the other guys
That you've seen
Are nothing compared to me
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak after all
When we first met
We spoke so brief
When you sang a sonnet
I hummed sweet relief
Do you recall that night
We took the L
Out into Bushwick?
It was colder than hell
So maybe there
We should have stopped
'Cause I'm left here
Feeling like a cop
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak after all
To the other side
Of the state's return
I met a young girl
Well, I couldn't manage her
Because I think of you
In every girl I meet
It's no relief
That sounds to me just as sweet
So maybe I'm the fool
For feeling used
By the way we kissed that night
I though you knew
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak after all
Never let go, never let go
We were just two kids acting tough
Then we grew up, me, not so much
All the other guys
That you've seen
Are nothing compared to me
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak after all
When we first met
We spoke so brief
When you sang a sonnet
I hummed sweet relief
Do you recall that night
We took the L
Out into Bushwick?
It was colder than hell
So maybe there
We should have stopped
'Cause I'm left here
Feeling like a cop
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak after all
To the other side
Of the state's return
I met a young girl
Well, I couldn't manage her
Because I think of you
In every girl I meet
It's no relief
That sounds to me just as sweet
So maybe I'm the fool
For feeling used
By the way we kissed that night
I though you knew
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak after all

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

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” 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.
I feel like its about a guy who can't get over a girl because he's been in love with her since the day he met her. He's never felt so in love with someone and he feels weak and maybe a little bitter for not being able to get over her (my love is strong but heart is weak).
