She likes to wake up and just fake it.
She knows if she touches it she'll break it.
She can see all the houselights fading,
And the ground beneath her feet is shaking.
She's singing: bye bye, my old friend;
You're never going to see my face again.
You left me outside in the rain,
So, bye bye, Mr. A.
(Look out,) just when you think she's wearing thin,
She's walking out with the biggest man that you've ever seen.
She's singing: bye bye, my old friend;
You're never going to see my face again.
It took some time, so here I am;
So, bye bye, Mr. A.
Well now her grass is looking greener,
And you hope that sometimes you might see her.
What a diamond, boy; looks like you missed it.
It must have left you feeling sick and twisted.
Bye bye, my old friend;
You're never gonna see my face again.
You left me outside in the rain,
So, bye bye; I said, bye bye.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
