Two hundred miles between us, I'd walk them all for you
It's really so exciting to find someone new
And tell me that you're feeling the way I feel today
And tell me that you need me, tell me I'm okay. yeah

I was your brief obsession, I really thought you cared
But you're a well-versed actor who's emotionally impaired
You're brushing me off like I'm only here to bother you
There's nothing going for us, but I can't accept that as true

I don't think that my face ever passes thru your mind
I see you in the hallway we bump shoulders all the time
And I don't think you care enough to give me the time of day
But I can't turn away

Now, I've gotten over you, it didn't take that long
If only I'd known from the start with you there's something wrong
For every person in this world, there's someone who is meant to be
And I realize that with you, is not the place for me

EE-yay-ee-yeah

    this is a great song to listen to when you're feeling down about loosing a boyfriend or girlfriend. (i also like save ferris - i'm not crying) it's upbeat and says "i'm over you!" it's cheesy but i like it =)

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”

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.

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.
