Yeah
Woo, woo

Through the bumpy roads the others bite the dust 'cause
They be thinking there in love when their in lust, but
Cliche breakin' up so easy
I'm about to throw a curve ball honey
People let the stormy weather push them out
Back against the road it's easy to be over
Don't sweat the little things wake up
Stay together, it's a new break up

Everyday I think how we done it
Every way that we can keep lovin'
Toe to toe, we so strong and on and on we up and runnin'
Not a day goes by without dreamin'
Not a thing goes out just keep reachin'
Through the storm we stay warm and on and on we keep on lovin'

This time is in our favor
This time comes second nature
Heartbreaks are overrated
Stay together, that's the new trend
Boy we done started something serious 'cause
Romance is underrated
Stay together, that's the new trend

Through the bumpy roads the others bite the dust, and
Seems like everyone's giving up, when
These days breaking up is so cliche
Hear 'em screaming out, "Baby no please stay"
People wanna always hurry up and wait for
Somebody better than the person they won't stay for
Don't sweat the little things wake up
Stay together, it's a new break up

Everyday I think how we done it
Every way that we can keep lovin'
Toe to toe, we so strong and on and on we up and runnin'
Not a day goes by without dreamin'
Not a thing goes out just keep reachin'
Through the storm we stay warm and on and on we keep on lovin'

This time is in our favor
This time comes second nature
Heartbreaks are overrated
Stay together, that's the new trend
Boy we done started something serious 'cause
Romance is underrated
Stay together, that's the new trend

Hey, yeah

And though there will be the nights of fights and we must face it
It's like a roller coaster, ups and downs we'll go
As long as we hold tight and never act complacent
Remember how we built this then our love is never done

Everyday I think how we done it
Every way that we can keep lovin' (keep lovin')
Toe to toe, we so strong and on and on we up and runnin'
Not a day goes by without dreamin'
Not a thing goes out just keep reachin'
Through the storm we stay warm and on and on we keep on lovin'

This time is in our favor
This time comes second nature
Heartbreaks are overrated
Stay together, that's the new trend
Boy we done started something serious, 'cause
Romance is underrated
Stay together, that's the new trend

Hey, uh!
Ooh
Uh, uh
Oh

    Well, I'm don't usually listen to JLo , but some of her songs are really great and catchy. This is one of them, and I simply can't understand why they didn't release it as a single. It should have been the first single from "Brave".

    First time I heard this song I was on the beach with my Ipod and the lyrics resonated really well with me, I mean right now I'd like a girlfriend instead of one night stands. These have become meaningless, empty and boring. So the new trend is to 'Stay Together', to try and be happy in a relationship.

    It's a weird tune from JLo, who's been married a couple of times. But now that she's having kids it makes a lot of sense. She wants to 'Stay Married' and be a mom for now. I think it's an honest song, and a really uplifting one for gals and folks like me. So that's the meaning of the song.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
