I should have seen the signs you showed me
So many times, in so many ways
On a never ending journey though
The cold light of day
Cold light of day

I spent nearly all my time
Thinking I know you
But I still got my doubts
Little things to try to work you out
Playing on my mind

Will you leave her now
Like you left me then
Just forgot and leave me
With just enough to start again
Start a brand new life
Maybe have some kids
Never facing facts
And never looking back

How why' livin',
Are why' living your life
How why' livin'
Are you treating her right
How why' livin'
Are why' living your life
How why' livin'
Are you treating her,
Treating her right

I don't see you anymore
Heard you're married
But you never know
You've never married enough
To not want to let them go
You never fight enough
To not want to fight no more
Just keep moving on,
Find another girl
Go out and party and make sure
That she rocks your world

How why' livin'
Are you living your life
How why' livin'
Are you treating her right
How why' livin'
Are you living your life
How why' livin"
Are you treating her,
Treating her right

How why' livin baby,
Have you done what's right
How why' livin baby,
Are you treating her right
How why' livin' baby
Have you done what's right
How why' livin' baby,
Are you treating her,
Treating her right

RAP:
Haven't seen you for a while
Can I come over baby
Damm you're looking good,
What's happened to you lately
I've been cruising round,
Checking out the scene
Fancy seeing you,
Are you still feeling angry
Time to move on, make a little wish
I know I treated you bad
But I've grown up since
I want to make a change
Get it right with you
I'm begging on my knees
Have I moved a little too soon?
Have you got a man,
Does he treat you good
Do you feel the same now,
Are you still turned on?
A blast from the past,
Take a load off
You and me got a past that
Don't stop and won't stop
Pack your bags up, take a ride with me
In my black jeep we're going to get busy
I'm living right, without you is wrong
The sun don't shine
If you're walking alone.

How why' livin'
Are you living your life
How why' livin'
Are you treating her right
How why' livin'
Are you living your life
How why' livin'
Are you treating her,
Treating her right

How why' livin' baby
Have you done what's right
How why' livin baby
Are you treating her right
How why' livin' baby
Have you done what's right
How why' livin baby,
Are you treating her right,

How why' livin'
Are you living your life
How why' livin'
Are you treating, treating her right
How why' livin'
Are you living your life
How why' livin'
Are you treating her,
Treating her right.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Indigo
Of Mice & Men
This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
