Hey, would you get to be alone?
And tell me, when will you be back home?
And why did you leave me all alone?
You blew my mind.

Fool, listenin' to yourself.
You don't know, even when you've been left.
Tomorrow, maybe you'll see the rest.
I told you so.

You've got to believe in something,
If you don't you will be lost.

Well, hell, if I've been had,
Then, Jesus, why does it got to hurt so bad?
And when can something come
And make me glad to be alive?

Look, you've got a mind of your own,
So listen when it says you could be wrong
The first time.
Usually when you hear that song,
It sets you free.

Too late,
Do you realize you are burning bridges behind you:
Every time you lose, existing on something
That perhaps cannot be had,
You blow it away?

You've got to believe in something,
And give it some time.
You've got to believe in someone;
Go over the line.

So, love isn't, oh, so easy to live,
And don't be so good and breezy.
Forgive my eyes glowing; I am speaking clearly:
I give you give blind.
I give you give blind.
I give you give blind.
I give you give blind.

Hey, would you get to be alone?
And tell me, when will you be back home?
And why did you leave me all alone?
You blew it away!

    Love.

    You can follow the hard path, or take the easy one.

    You can nurture love, or you can just blow it off.

    Love between a man and a woman is hard work, takes time, and it takes introspection, something not everyone is willing to do in the era of instant gratification.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
