Dadadada-dada-da-da-da!
Geez you're so stupid we're trying to write a song here

In my bedroom dancing all night long
That's when I knew nothing could go wrong
You'd be the girl who's always on my mind
We're unofficial, now I think it's time

Maybe you and I
(Could be so much more)
Say you will be mine
(And I will be yours)

Jessica, oh won't you be
My girlfriend officially

Jessica, oh won't you be
My girlfriend officially

[Spoken:]
I think she'll like it.
Yeah?
I don't think she'll get it.
As in earth to Jessica
It's not like we're actually saying, like
the planet earth is calling you, like
Hello! Hello! Oh snap!
Earth to Jessica!
Ryan wants to be your boyfriend!

    What is it with silly old Hellogoodbye writing all these adorable songs? They're the best kind, where you can't debate about their deep inner meanings because they're too straightforward and you're too busy smiling and going "aww cute!".

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.

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
