[Verse 1]
I was walking in the shadows
So nobody cared
You smiled at me from the distance
And we felt there's more to share

[Bridge 1]
All these memories
They come back
When I'm asleep
You've taken my dreams

[Chorus]
I don't need no fakes around me
All I want is you to be with me
Here I am
All these words have lost their meaning
I just hope you hear
My silent scream

[Verse 2]
I still hear the distant voices
Spreading rumours and lies
I took you to my darkest places
So far away from the skies

[Bridge 2]
I would charm you
We made vows
To not let go
But where are you now?

[Chorus]
I don't need no fakes around me
All I want is you to be with me
Here I am
All these words have lost their meaning
I just hope you hear
My silent scream

[Middle 8]
I'm so numb
Can't you hear me?
Here I am
There is something
Inside me
That still wants to feel
(My silent scream)

    I was walking in the shadows so nobody cared you smiled at me from the distance and we felt there's more to share

    All these memories They come back when I'm asleep You've taken my dreams

    I don't need no fakes around me All I want is you to be with me Here I am All these words have lost their meaning I just hope you hear my silent scream

    I still hear the distant voices Spreading rumors and lies I took you to my darkest places So far away from the skies

    I would charm you We made vows to not let go But where are you now?

    I don't need no fakes around me All I want is you to be with me Here I am All these words have lost their meaning I just hope you hear my silent scream

    I'm so numb Can't you hear me? Here I am There is something inside me That still wants to feel

    I don't need no fakes around me All I want is you to be with me Here I am All these words have lost their meaning I just hope you hear my silent scream

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

Album art
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.
