Something tells me you've been missing out
on all the places and towns we always used to go,
and so I'm stuck here to figure now,
the chance we had made you pack your bags.

Your three thousand miles
from the place you once called home.
So much different,
you're getting distant
and now I'm the only one whose all alone.
The fact about fiction is that it's always in your head.
So let it all go just what you don't know is I'd pick you,
yeah, I'd pick you instead.

So drink down the bottle and just go to bed,
this whole situation is going right over your head.
You're out of your body, why don't you come to mine?
Cause right now what it takes to fall,
is what it takes to climb.

Your three thousand miles
from the place you once called home.
So much different,
you're getting distant
and now I'm the only one whose all alone.
The fact about fiction is that it's always in your head.
So let it all go just what you don't know is I'd pick you, yeah,
I'd pick you instead.

So Break away from the simple things in life,
cause when the moon comes out
there is no doubt that it is always by your side.
I never thought you could be so happy with a ticket in your hand,
and a plane ride back to home.
I guess for now I'll have to settle for the fact that what we could have been is what I'll never know.

Your three thousand miles
from the place you once called home.
So much different,
you're getting distant
and now I'm the only one who's all alone.
I'm writing post cards to let you know how much I care,
saying, "the only thing that gets me by is when I close my eyes and pretend your'e there."

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.
