You'll be knocked out, come around
Shot down, shatter on the stony ground
Yeah take it from me, it's how it'll be
Your dreams will come true, fall through
Screw you, batter you to black and blue
Yeah take it from me, it's how it'll be

Love's gonna leave you broken
Time's gonna work you over
You get up, you get up
You keep rolling on
Life's gonna bring you glory
But there's another side to the story
You get up and suck it up
You keep rolling on

But if you crashland in the quicksand
I will pick you up, I'll pull you out
And if the world shakes
Your brittle heart breaks
We will patch it up, we'll work it out
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
We will patch it up, we'll work it out

You'll be on track, on the rack
Bounce back, wheeling down a bumpy road
Yeah take it from me, it's how it'll be
Through the good times, the sad times
Oh, off you go
But take it from me, whatever you need

Love's gonna leave you broken
Time's gonna work you over
You get up, you get up
You keep rolling on
Life's gonna bring you glory
But there's another side to the story
You get up and suck it up
You keep rolling on

But if you crash land in the quicksand
I will pick you up, I'll pull you out
And if the world shakes
Your brittle heart breaks
We will patch it up, we'll work it out

When your world cracks open
When your heart is broken
We will patch it up, we'll work it out
Life's gonna bring you glory
But there's another side to the story
We will patch you up, we'll work it out

We will patch you up, we'll work it out

And if the world shakes
Your brittle heart breaks
We will patch it up, we'll work it out
I will patch you up, we'll work it out

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”

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.
