If he makes you cry
Cause he said he'd love you forever
You should know that I'm be the one to make you smile
When the lights go dark
And the colors around you are fading
You can reach for me
'Cause I'll always be anything that you're looking to find

[Chorus]
I'm not the other guy
Don't ever wanna lie to you baby
Girl it should be you and me tonight so
Don't leave me waiting
Ohhh
I'm not the other guy

Would you take my heart?
Would you take all my love if I gave it?
There's no place too far
I will always get to you
I'll be there when you call
Take the weight of the world off your shoulders
Girl, you found the one who will ever run
No, I'm never gonna stop, do you know

[Chorus]

So girl just let me tell you right now
You'll never find another, no doubt
Who will you treat you good like you deserve
Or the one who'll always put you first
So baby don't you know
Know, know, you know

You know it should be you and me tonight
So don't leave me here alone

I'm not the other guy
Don't ever wanna lie to you baby
Girl it should be you and me tonight so
Don't leave me waiting
Ohhh
I'm not the other guy (I'm seating on the sidelines)
I'm not the other guy (I've been waiting my whole life)
Girl it should be you and me tonight so
Don't leave me waiting
Ohhh
I'm not the other guy!

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
