I've been thinking about you more than I should, eh
Thinking somehow I misunderstood
I've been drinking about you more than I should
They said we were too young
Going back to twenty-one

'Cause you said that you cannot leave me
You said you, won't
We carve our names in the city
By the red payphone

You said that you would not leave me
But now you're, gone
Now you're, gone
Now I

I keep it locked away all days to come
The beauty of your face I come undone
Because it feels like staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like

Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun

Staring at the sun

Say you're happy and now and I'm under your spell, eh
Gotta know what you hide, you know me too well
And then you kiss me goodnight, tell me farewell
And you're standing all alone, in a minute you are gone

'Cause you said that you cannot leave me
You said you, won't
We carve our names in the city
By the red payphone

You said that you would not leave me
But now you're, gone
Now you're, gone
Now I

I keep it locked away all days to come
The beauty of your face I come undone
Because it feels like staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like

Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like
Staring at the sun

Staring at the sun

Staring at the sun
I've been wasting time
Way down, down that line
Every waking hour
Way down, down that line

I keep it locked away all days to come
The beauty of your face I come undone
Because it feels like staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like staring at the sun

Staring at the sun
Feels like, feels like staring at the sun

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
