Uh, uh, uh

Hi, I'm seventeen and my name is Bobby James
Everyday in school all my classmates call me names
And so this pusher introduced me to this thing
He said it makes you forget pain but makes you sing
I got pushed at home, at school I was a wuss
Now my life is a domino that pushers push
'Cause I tried it once but I tried it again
Ran away two weeks later I seen my friend
And I said

Hey there mister, give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
Hey there mister, give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out

Man, this would be cute if this were just a dream
A lesson for you to learn except you'd learn through me
You know like in the movies when it ends with a scream
Well fuck face I got news this is real and I did things

Traveling from Virginia to Cali broke
Hitchhike and rides me in my calico
Shoplift for food when it was desire
I miss my family, miss my friends
I'm so high and so tired

Hey there mister, give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
Hey there mister, give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out

Hey there mister, give me some cash (hey there)
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast (could you help me please?)
I'm just one hit away from being passed out (could you spare some change for the world?)
Young and assed out (for the world to see)
Hey there mister, give me some cash (hey there)
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast (could you help me please?)
I'm just one hit away from being passed out (could you spare some change for the world?)
Young and assed out (for the world to see)

Hey there mister, give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
Hey there mister, give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
And assed out
Young and assed out
And assed out

Hey there mister, give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out

(Hey there)
(Could you help me please?)
(Could you spare some change for the world?)
(For the world to see)
(Hey there)
(Could you help me please?)
(Could you spare some change for the world?)
(For the world to see)
(Hey there)
(Could you help me please?)
(Could you spare some change for the world?)
(For the world to see)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
