8 years playing guitars together,
playing bars, whatever,
getting lost in bad weather
having nearly lost the fun
you turned up "Born To Run"
writing long postcards to
mothers with sons in the ER
and I moved into the VR
and somewhere, man in that passenger van
has left you a curse
'cuz one man's limo is another man's hearse
uhhh
uhhh

Talking about smoking and the joys of pain
he shit his pants, and champagne,
and you brought an old professor over for Halloween
who shoved a handgun down his pants and climbed a tree
screaming "cunt", and shot his dick off
and I can't decide which is worse
'cuz one man's limo is another man's hearse
uhhh
uhhh

taking on state lines, picking up parking fines
fathers driving us on our first tour 'cuz we can't drive
playing the same venue as Q and Not U,
then watching two lesbians tongue on a mechanical bull
it got kind of surreal, I guess that things had gotten worse
'cuz one man's limo is another man's hearse
uhhh
uhhh

there's nothing more gorgeous
or covered, I have found
than the northern part of this state at sundown
there's nothing more gorgeous
or covered, I have found
than the southern part of this state at sundown
there's nothing more gorgeous
or covered, I have found
than the eastern part of this state at sundown
there's nothing more gorgeous
or covered, I have found
than the western part of this state right now

    Some of these are wrong.

    8 years playing guitars together. Playing bars wherever. Getting lost in bad weather. Having nearly lost the fun. You turned up “Born to run.” Writing long postcards to mothers with sons in the ER. I moved into the VR. And somewhere, man in that passenger van is left your curse because one man’s limo is another man’s hearse.

    Talking about smoking and the joys of pain. He shit his pants in Champaign and you brought an old professor over for Halloween, who shoved a handgun down his pants and climbed a tree screaming “cunt” Then shot his dick off. And I can’t describe which is worse because one man’s limo is another man’s hearse.

    Picking on state lines, picking up parking fines, Father’s driving us on our first tour because we can’t drive; playing the same venue as Q and Not U then watching 2 Lesbians tongue on a mechanical bull. It got kind of surreal. I guess that things had gotten worse. But one man’s Limo is another man’s hearse.

    There is nothing more gorgeous or covered I have found, than the Northern part of the state at sundown. There is nothing more gorgeous or covered I have found, than the Southern part of the state at sundown. There is nothing more gorgeous or covered I have found, than the Eastern part of the state at sundown. There is nothing more gorgeous or covered I have found, than the Western part of the state at right now.

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”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
