Somebody stop me!
(Somebody stop him, please!)
Night skies! (Brake lights!)
Stiff conversation cuts ties.

(Somebody stop him!)
Somebody stop me, please!
Everything everyone never said.
(Everything everyone never said.)

So, call this a lesson that's worth being learned.
(Is this the attention you deserve?)
Is this the attention you deserve?

(Somebody break him!)
Somebody break me, please!
(Don't wait!) Too late.
(Please move on with your life.)

(Heart punched with stars.)
Sky filled with emptiness.
(Everything you never said.)
Everything you never said.

So, call this a lesson that's worth being learned.
(Is this the attention you deserve?)
Is this the attention you deserve?

I tried these lines one too many times.
I tried these lines one too many times.
I tried these lines one too many times.

I tried these lines one too many times.
I tried these lines one too many times.
I tried these lines one too many times.

(I tried these lines one too many times!)
I tried these lines one too many times!
(I tried these lines one too many times!)
I tried these lines one too many times!

(I tried these lines, I tried...)
I tried these lines, I tried

(I tried these lines one too many times!)
So, call this a lesson that's worth being learned.

(I tried these lines one too many times!
I tried these lines one too many times!
I tried these lines one too many times!)
Is this the attention you deserve?

(I tried these lines one too many times!)
So, call this a lesson that's worth being learned.

(I tried these lines one too many times!)
[So, call this a lesson that's worth being learned!]
(I tried these lines one too many times!)
[So, call this a lesson that's worth being learned!]

(I tried these lines one too many times!)
[So, call this a lesson that's worth being learned!]
Is this the attention?

    Well I'm from New Zealand, found this song while browsing PureVolume...

    To me it's about a relationship that's broken down because of lack of communication, where things should have been said that weren't, or when things were said that shouldn't have been.

    I agree. It's about a breakdown in communication and somebody wanting more attention but not expressing it properly. Thus leading to a repetitive melodrama where you end up saying the same things over and over trying to understand what it is your girl/man wants.

    If the song sounds repetitive.... Good!!! It's supposed to!!! Most arguments do!!!!

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”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
