She turns to me from the middle of the street
She says it's been so long, we've never felt so good
She says I wanna go to Chicago
Cause I've never seen the inside of the city

And I said hey why don't you give it some thought
You know Chicago's a long way from Seattle
And she says I wanna grow up
And go to Europe
And find something else to do with my life
Hey yeah yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah yeah

She turns on me like her worst enemy
And says this whole town aint got nothing i havn't seen
She says I wast all my money on cigarettes and gasoline
Lets you and me move to the city

And I said hey why don't you give it some thought
You know you don't wanna leave Seattle
And she says I wanna grow up
and go to Europe
And find something else to do with my life
Hey yeah yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah yeah
She's so good for me, cause she's so good to me
She's so good for me, cause she's so good to me

She turns to me for someone to believe
And says all my life aint what it use to be
I got a one way ticket for a plane to Miami
Cause I'm just not me without the city

And I said hey why don't you give it some thought
You know you don't wanna leave Seattle
And she says I wanna grow up
and go to Europe
And find something else to do with my life
I can't seem to live in the countryside
Hey yeah yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah yeah
(repeat untill the end)

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
