I can only hope it's true enough
That every little thing I do for love
Redeems me from the moments I deem worthy
Of the worst things that I've done
And saves me from myself in times of envy
When I'm missing everyone

If I wake in the morning
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I'd be
Well, I just ain't

Lately it seems like
Everybody's sick, everybody's dyin' (everybody's dyin')
Build myself a wall of unhappy highs
And only my heart knows my head is lyin', lyin'
Oh glory
I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison
Get there in the end
Oh glory

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah)

When I'm looking past the silken sheets
Take a breath to notice I'm between
Every little piece of thread in memories
That constitute your dreams

If I wake in the morning
I only need two more miracles to be a saint
Everything I promised everyone I'd be
Well, I just ain't

Lately it seems like
Everybody's sick, everybody's dyin'
Build myself a wall of unhappy highs
And only my heart knows my head is lyin', lyin'
Oh glory
I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison
Get there in the end
Oh glory

Oh glory
I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison
Get there in the end
Oh glory
I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison
Get there in the end

Lately it seems like
Everybody's sick, everybody's dyin' (everybody's dyin')
Build myself a wall of unhappy highs
And only my heart knows my head is lyin', lyin'
Oh glory
I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison
Get there in the end
(Oh glory)
Oh glory
I think I see you 'round the bend
And I think I'd try any poison
Get there in the end
Oh glory
Oh glory
Oh glory

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
