He was walkin' in the parkin' lot,
When she finally caught up with him.
Said: "Hey, boy, you forgot your keys.
"Is that your car?" She ran her fingers 'cross the hood,
An' told him: "I've never been in one of these."
He said: "Hop in an' I'll take you for a ride,
"Around the block. If you got the time."
She said, as she took her apron off:
"I must be out of my mind."

He pushed a button an' the ragtop came down.
Pushed another an' the music came on.
Pushed it to the floor an' off they went.
She asked his name: he told her.
He asked her name: she told him.
Said: "You want to head back?" She said: "Not yet.
"It feels good to have the sun on my face
"An' the wind blowin' through my hair.
He said: "Where to next?"
An' she said: "I don't care."

"I've never been anywhere, I've never done anything.
"'Cept wait on tables in that bar: small talk an' small change.
"I've never loved anyone, I've never had someone who care.
"Boy, until you came along: I've never been anywhere."

They drove around for what seemed for hours.
In the sky the sun was settin'.
Said: "Where do you live? I'll drive you home."
He walked her up to the front porch screen door.
On her lips, she felt his kisses.
He said: "Goodbye." She said: "So long."
Well, he got in his car an' drove away,
But then he stopped an' threw it in reverse
An' she came runnin' off that front proch,
An' he put his arms 'round her.

"I've never been anywhere, I've never done anything.
"But work in some dead-end job, chasin' after dead-end dreams.
"But, girl, you brought my life to life, your smile is like a breath of air.
"Yeah, until you came along: I've never been anywhere.
"I've never been anywhere."

He was walkin' in the parkin' lot,
When she finally caught up with him.
Said: "Hey, boy, you forgot your keys."

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.

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.

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.
