Take on the ocean,
Where we belong, like islands in the sun,
I'll stick around,
To be your hero, your tugboat captain.
We could swim out to the end,
We can find our place to hide.
We can slide across the sea
And finally be free.

In this space wide open,
Take my hand to know that I will never let you go.
You are my joy my pride
That keeps my heart alive.
If we fall we won't cry,
In these water mountains we can hide.
There we can close our eyes
And we can be all right.

We can write this story, raise our arms in glory
As we step off the world to slide.
(Find out what you're looking for.)
Waterslide.
(Don't make me... be my guest.)
We can slide.
(Find out what you're looking for.)
Waterslide.
We'll slide across the sea.

We're drawing lines on the water,
You take a swim with the Neptune's daughter.
You want to splash in the sea green planet,
And let the world go, just let the birds go, birds go.
Well don't waste another breath,
Make sure you take time to pass along imagination
Before you're gone
And your life slips away.

Slide.
(Find out what you're looking for.)
Waterslide.
(Don't make me... be my guest.)
We can slide.
(Find out what you're looking for.)
Waterslide.
We'll slide across the sea.

We'll slide across the sea.
We'll slide across the sea.
So write this story with me...

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
