Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a NEW DISGUISE, give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a STRAIGHTER LINE. You could be everything i wanted if you just give up on holding back and i never lost so many words from kissing just one girl cuz you've got potential.

Wait for it, wait for nights that compliments you and know that girl i just recent you its easier to pretend you dont care at all, Now wait for it, wait for boys that overwhelmed you and tell them that your not that type of girl and you would rather sit and talk about you goals.

So give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a NEW DISGUISE, give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a STRAIGHTER LINE. You could be everything i wanted if you just give up on holding back and i never lost so many words from kissing just one girl cuz you've got potential.

Wait for it, wait for nights that decimate you wake up nad that pray for savior hope has never seems so far away from you. And now wait for it, wait for years to pass you by your looking back and all these times you wished you had it compremised at all....... Well I tried. Well i tried to make you see that you lost reality somewhere..... I tried.

Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a NEW DISGUISE, give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a STRAIGHTER LINE. You could be everything i wanted if you just give up on holding back and i never lost so many words from kissing just one girl cuz you've got potential.

    this song is Great, just like all of David Melillo's songs. I think it's about waiting (obvioulsy) for the right time and making the right decisions to do certain things beacuse if you go ahead with something you could regret it later? idk but these lyrics are wrong. the song goes:

    Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a new disguise. Give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a straighter line. You could be everything I wanted if you just gave up on holding back and I never lost so many words from kissing just one girl, you've got potential.

    Wait for it, wait for nights that compliment you, ignore the girls that just resent you. It's easier to pretend you dont care at all. Now wait for it, wait for boys that overwhelm you and tell them that your not that type of girl and you would rather sit and talk about your goals.

    You give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a new disguise. Give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a straighter line. You could be everything I wanted if you just gave up on holding back 'cause I never lost so many words from kissing just one girl, you've got potential.

    Wait for it, wait for the nights that decimate you, wake up and then pray for savior. Hope has never seemed so far away from you. Now wait for it, wait for the years to pass you by your looking back at all the times you wished you hadn't compromised at all.Well I tried, well I tried, well I tried to make you see that you lost reality somewhere, I tried.

    Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a new disguise. Give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a straighter line. You could be everything I wanted if you just gave up on holding back and I never lost so many words from kissing just one girl, you've got potential.

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
