featuring justin timberlake



When I was younger, I never went too far
Held my feelings, I never even wanted to start
Til when I met you, I didn't know
What you were gonna do with my heart

When you talk. I hang on every word you say
When you move, you're like the breeze on a summer day
When you smile, the sky turns from gray to blue
That's what you do

And you're the kind of girl I think of
And you're the kind of girl I dream about
My heart is telling me I need you in my world
In my world
Cause you're my kind of lady
You're my kind of girl

When I'm not with you, wherever you are
Baby,I'm counting the moments til I'm back in your arms
All I want is to have you here with me every night, every day

When you talk, I hang on every word you say
When you move, you're like the breeze on a summer day
When you smile, the sky turns from gray to blue
That's what you do

And you're the kind of girl I think of
And you're the kind of girl I dream about
My heart is telling me I need you in my world
My world
Cause you're my kind of lady
You're my kind of girl

Baby girl, I need you here by my side
And If you're there everything will be alright
Cause this is the time for us (This is the time)
Baby, be mine! (Baby be mine)

And you're the kind of girl I think of (I think about)
And you're the kind of girl I dream about (The kind of girl I dream about
My heart is telling me I need you in my world
Cause you're my kind of lady
You're my kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind of girl (repeat)

    unless it's the actual title...'my kinda of girl' doesn't make any sense. it should either be 'my kinda girl' or 'my kind of girl'. sorry to be so anally retentive about it, but grammatical errors annoy me. anyways, that's what i think...

    I love this song so much. Everytime I hear it I have to fight back tears because when my fiance and I were just friends he told me he had just got this CD and this song reminded him of me. That was one of the reasons I fell for him. I love you baby!!

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
