Bone bone bone bone bone bone bone bone
So tell me what you're gonna do
When there ain't nowhere 2 run
When judgment comes 4 you
(when judgment comes 4 u)
So tell me what your gonna do
When there ain't no place 2 hide
When judgment comes 4 you
'cause its gonna come 4 you

[Chorus]
See you at the crossroads crossroads crossroads
[3 times after that]

[Flava:] so why you gotta go and pray your gonna make it some day
You got a job so why do you want a raise
Why you want to act tough why can't you
Play this whole fame
Thing just comes one of these days
When it comes you'll be one of a kind
But before this keep all this in your mind
'cause I will hold you till the end of the line want all this you'll be mad to decline

[Reepa:] so what you gonna do when everydays the same
Try and do this
Shush just 4 a glimpse of fame
Didn't mean 2 do it
Just put yourself 2 shame
Didn't want 2 kill her just tryin 2 play the game
Wen you reach the crossroads where you gonna go
Go with your coinsience
Just let your feelings flow
Lifes up lifes down
But things can turn around
Innocent or guilty you will soon be found

[KRAZY]
So what ya gonna do when people hate you
Chat you
Beat you
They don't like you
Can't run away coz they will find you
Prayin for answers wot ya gonna do
Make decisions where ya gonna go
Take the crossroads go with the flow
You gotta come easy and then you gotta go
Your livin in a hateful world
Keep low

[Breakdown]
Mmmm and we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Everyday everyday everyday everyday
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Still we lay still we lay

[KENZIE]
There's things in life you have to make
Which path you take is like deja-vou
Stand by your side
Stand next to you
Be there in the middle when your passin through
In the middle meet you at the crossroads
Between love and hate
Between good and evil
We can see right through you
When you tell the truth
All single lie
We brake sumthin
Your gonna make a man cry
Don't want to talk about the day your gonna die
Sooner or later that day will come
When you have to make a right or wrong decision
Its hard to take and make
Curlin by they just separate you
Want to do that sht
Prime resists at the end of the day
Its up to you
Ill be there in the middle when your passin through.

[chorus x2]
(so you won't be lonely)

[Rockyb:] see you at the crossroads see you
See you at the crossroads see you
[x2]

[Spike-e:] who's THAT GET OFF THE TRAIN
AVIREX JACKET WITH THE POOR WITH THE RAIN
WHY TAKE THAT MANS CHAIN
NO MORE TROUBLE MADE

[Melo-d:] living on the streets everyday so lame
People walking past looking at you in shame
But they don't really care who's the one 2 blame
You're gonna take the wrong turn your gonna lose the game
You no its not you're fault that life turned this way
But ppl don't care don't hear what you say
The way it is now is the ways it gonna stay
There's no choice left but to hope and pray

[BREAKDOWN]
[Chorus x2]
(so you won't b lonley)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
