strawberry ann
Switzerland
Straddles the line
Between his and mine


We'll keep honor
We'll keep on her
With basically
Tactical signs of life


In burning a candle
We'll burn our hands off
For your side
If we're so clever
If we're so ever wanting leverage
Then how come I'm crying
Eleven feet from your bedside
Let me inside


You can always come over
And I can always miss you


All over what happened late tonight
Our eyes in the moonlight
With our lies


So give me a chance and I
Promise I'll make it all
Alright
Give me a chance and I
Promise we'll make it all
Worthwhile
Give me a chance and I
Promise I can make you
Smile
Did I make you smile


And is there peace tonight
Cause if everythings a fight
Then everything is nothing
But nothings important


You can always come over
And I can always miss you

    Strawberry Ann Switzerland Straddles the line Between his and mine

    We'll keep honor We'll keep on her With basically Tactical signs of life

    In burning a candle We'll burn our hands off For your side If we're so clever If we're so ever wanting leverage Then how come I'm crying Eleven feet from your bedside Let me inside

    You can always come over And I can always miss you all over You can always come over And I can always kiss you all over

    What happened late tonight Our eyes in the moonlight With our lies

    So give me a chance and I Promise I'll make it all Make it all Alright

    Give me a chance and I Promise we'll make it all Make it all Worthwhile

    Give me a chance and I Promise I can make you Smile

    Did I make you smile?

    And is there peace tonight Cause if everythings a fight Then everything is nothing But nothing's important But nothing's important But nothing Is important

    You can always come over And I can always miss you

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”

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.
