Elle marche sur le trottoir de n'importe quelle ville.
Elle vit toujours toute seule, suspendue à son fil.
Son père prend un dernier verre seul dans la cuisine.
Elle se découpe une vie meilleure dans un magazine.
Pourtant, elle veut vivre sa vie.
Même si c'est une folie, c'est toujours un peu mieux qu'ici !

Hey ! Elle veut partir ce soir.
La Californie attend, pleine de promesses et de gloire.
Hey ! Ça serait vraiment trop cool
Si elle pouvait sortir de la foule, être quelqu'un quelque part, un jour.

Faire des économies pour mettre enfin les voiles.
Aller jusqu'à Hollywood, là où vivent les étoiles.
Des gentlemen en coupé sport la ramèneront chez elle
Mais au coucher du soleil, où qu'on soit, c'est pareil, pareil, pareil.

Hey ! Elle veut partir ce soir.
La Californie attend, pleine de promesses et de gloire.
Hey ! Ça serait vraiment trop cool, oh ho
Si elle pouvait sortir de la foule, être quelqu'un quelque part, un jour.

Californie, attends... Hey !
Californie, attends.
Californie, attends, je saurai être patiente jusque là !

Hey ! Elle veut partir ce soir, ce soir.
La Californie attend, pleine de promesses et de gloire, hey.
Hey ! Ça serait vraiment trop cool
Si elle pouvait sortir de la foule, être quelqu'un quelque part, un jour.

Californie, attends... Un jour.
Californie, attends... Attends, attends.
Californie, attends... Attends, attends-moi.
Californie, attends... Attends, attends, attends-moi.

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.
