Feels like you're coming apart
And you've entertained the thought that you're out of things to say
And you haven't even started
You haven't even started
You're gonna have to find the words
To put on the page
And get around the corner
Get around the corner
Where nothing is the way, the way it was before
You're left with just these after thoughts to keep you warm

And when all the sunlight in your eyes feels forgotten,
Is there light the end of this tunnel?
And it feels like we're drowning, sinking to the bottom
Is there light at the end of this tunnel?
If the only thing to do now is just start running
For the light at the end of this tunnel

Sometimes anything just breaks your heart
And you hold out your arms to keep day and night apart
So this is never ending, nothing is ending
You turn back the clock 'till the clock is no more
Now time means nothing, time can't touch you
It's nowhere to the start and nowhere to end
But tomorrow somehow finds it's way to us again

And when all the sunlight in your eyes feels forgotten,
Is there a light at the end of this tunnel?
And we feel like we're drowning, sinking to the bottom
Is there a light at the end of this tunnel
If the only thing to do now is just start, just start running
For the light at the end of this tunnel
For The light at the end of this tunnel
For the light

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.
