Think about it till anticipation makes you shake
And we both lose control
Put the pedal to the floor
Lay the seat back, lock the doors
We're gonna make this worth our while
It's getting harder to breathe

"Jealous hearts will leave us all in ruins."
That's what we'll say
(That's what we'll say)
As we hide out from our friends
Hear the message once again
Lets get this right

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
And our chemistry is kerosene
Take it off, take it all off
Maybe we can get down and burn up in the heat

Times like these feel so dangerous
When you know you're gonna find out how right it feels
(How right it feels)
To ignore the ones you love the most
This can't be right

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
And our chemistry is kerosene
As we kiss to the sound of your stereo
Don't say a word
We won't say a word

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
(Don't treat this like a secret)
And our chemistry is kerosene
(Just keep it quiet while we know)
Take it off, take it all off
(That we could tear best friends apart)
Maybe we can get down and burn up in the heat
(With all the lies we've told)

Your lips are a hot flame, baby
(Don't treat this like a secret)
And our chemistry is kerosene
(Just keep it quiet while we know)
Take it off, take it all off
(That we could tear best friends apart)
Baby, I'm at a lost for words
(With all the lies we've told)
When thoughts don't compare
Write this down

    i think this might be a girl that he really likes doenst like him back and he feels a chemistry between them that is more than any other girl, "Your lips are a hot flame, baby and our chemistry is kerosene... As we kiss to the sound of your stereo, don't say a word... I won't say a word..."

    i dunno for sure tho.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

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.
