Everything you say or do
I am always there for you
Whether you're laughing or you're screaming
No one else could take your place
I will always see your face
When I'm awake and when I am dreaming

'Cause I believe there's a place for you and in this crazy world

If you'd come running back to me I'll be here waiting
'Cause I still believe that I'm not worth saving
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place
Come back to me, I'll be here waiting
'Cause I'm on my knees and my life's not fading
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place

I can't stand to watch you go
'Cause in my head deep down I know
I don't wanna live without you
I love the way we stay up late
The way you laugh at your mistakes
I love everything about you

'Cause I believe there's a place for you and in this crazy world

If you'd come running back to me I'll be here waiting
'Cause I still believe that I'm not worth saving
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place
Come back to me, I'll be here waiting
'Cause I'm on my knees and my life's not fading
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place

No, don't want you to go
Can't move on
My heart, and my arms, and my bed girl
Quit messing with my head
Say that you're coming back to stay right here with me

If you'd come running back to me I'll be here waiting
'Cause I still believe that I'm not worth saving
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place
Come back to me, I'll be here waiting
'Cause I'm on my knees and my life's not fading
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place

Come back to me
I still believe
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place
Come back to me
I'm on my knees
If you could see the sad look on my face
You'd be in your car headed back to my place

    I'm in the same situation. I could just copy/paste this to my ex and save time writing him a letter. Kidding, but seriously this is a beautiful song.

    I think its like a song where he's in love with someone who doesnt love him but he think that he can make it work. its not the chemistry its the timing.

    This line: 'Cause I'm on my knees and my life's not fading'

    Is actually 'Cause I'm on my knees and my love's not fading'

    Another correction [sorry]. This line: 'Cause I still believe that I'm not worth saving'

    Is actually: 'Cause I still believe in a love worth saving'

    i think it means that he wants to reconcile an old relationship.

    but then again, I could be completely wrong. this song is pretty good.

    plain white t's came into my life @ the right time!

    when they became big in scotland, that is when hey there delilah came out, i had just gone into P7 and being the oldest girl in a mixed aged age group class was hard,

    when 2 boys who were in my class that were a massive influence on me left i was the saddest person eva!

    and P7 meant THE TALK, and every thing, i became more into boys, and..............

    DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN!!!

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
