Can't Stop

Dave Matthews Band

You know, you know
I love you 'cause I can't stop
I need you 'cause you won't stop
I wanna thank you, but I can't stop
Don't wanna leave you, 'cause you won't stop

I'm like a junkie for you, baby

I have tripped and fallen into this
This somehow beautiful is not beautiful
I mean, I found myself in a beautiful place
But I, I know that I will lose my soul

So hungry, you make me
So hungry, you make me
So hungry, you make me
I surrender
I'm hurting like a junkie for you
I'm hurting like a junkie for you, baby

I love you 'cause I can't stop
I need you 'cause you won't stop
Babe, I don't wanna thank you, but I can't stop
I wanna love you, 'cause you won't stop

I'm like a junkie for you, baby

Let them sleep
Let them stay sleeping
Let them sleep
Let them stay
Late night, is deep water
Is a deep fire, that burns

So hungry, you make me
So hungry, you make me
So hungry, you make me
I surrender
I burn like a junkie for you
I'm cold like a junkie for you, baby

I love you but I can't stop
I need you 'cause you won't stop
Babe, I don't wanna thank you, but I can't stop
I wanna love you, but I can't stop

Free the beast inside of me
(Oh lord, heaven)
Free the beast inside of me
Free the beast inside of me
Won't you kill me just a little more
Oh so kill me just a little
Free the beast inside of me
Free the beast inside of me
Free the beast inside of me
Free the beast inside of me
Free the beast inside of me
Free the beast inside of me
Won't you kill me just a little
Won't you kill me just a little

I burn like a junkie for you
I burn like a junkie for you, baby

I love you 'cause I can't stop
I need you 'cause you won't stop
Babe, I don't wanna thank you, but I can't stop
I wanna love you, but I can't stop

I'm like a junkie for you baby

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

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.
