Like a needle in my eyes
Oh yeah, all because, because of you
Heal the pain on ice
It woke up black and blue
You told me that you loved me
And then you told the truth
Told me that it's over
I've got the living proof
I can't forget the look upon your face
I wish I could, you know, the pain I can't erase

I've got a brand new name on an old tattoo
Better hold the train than to face loving you
You're under my skin, get out of my heart
I knew it was trouble from the start
What else can I do?
Got a brand new name on an old tattoo

A place right down on Sunset
It helped me make the change
Inked the words all over
And nothing stays the same
So now I'm getting over you
You cut me like a knife

I can't forget the look upon your face
I wish I could do it, this pain I can't erase
I remember when we'd been
Our love it was instant stone
But the pain has ruined everything
Woah!

I've got a brand new name on an old tattoo
Better hold the train than to face loving you
You're under my skin, get out of my heart
I knew it was trouble from the start
What else can I do?
Got a brand new name on an old tattoo

I forgot your number, but I don't forget your face
The only time I can look at you
Pain I can't erase

You're under my skin, get outta my heart
I knew it was trouble from the start
What else can I do?
Got a brand new name on an old tattoo

Got a brand new name on an old tattoo
Better hold the train than to face loving you
You're under my skin, get out of my heart
I knew it was trouble from the start
What else can I do?
Got a brand new name on an old tattoo

Got a brand new name on an old tattoo
Better hold the train than to face loving you
You're under my skin, get out of my heart
I knew it was trouble from the start
What else can I do?
Got a brand new name on an old tattoo

Got a brand new name on an old tattoo
Better hold the train than to face loving you
You're under my skin, get out of my heart
I knew it was trouble from the start

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.

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.
