I guess the bar staff see this every night
They're turning tables putting candles out, careless and tired
And all dramas lie unstarted
Came for the money, stayed for the community

And now our funds are tight and now we chose our sides
We make the same mistakes our friends might
We're throwing streamers down off balconies
scattered arcs across the city, makes a new body cold

How you don't stop believing in the band
(Last hit for sure)
Just cause the band stopped believing in the band
(Once was enough)
Oh, careless hands, we were made of plans
(From ? to one night stands, when everything stands, we were made of plans)

Backdrop set to falling stars does not describe what we are
And god knows what you think of us
I'm losing ground to future ghosts
I know that we're good and I know that I'm close
But god knows what you think of us

Now we sleep crooked if we sleep at all
We squeeze our bodies into spaces where the spaces are filled
And these blisters from our shattered arcs across the city
Makes a new body

And now the pressure's on and I still sleep alone
We barely notice that our friends are gone
(No!)
We're chaining cigarettes to pass the time
Coward, dazed by the money, trapped by community

How you don't stop believing in the band
(Last hit for sure)
Just cause the band stopped believing in the band
(Once was enough)
Oh, careless hands, we were made of plans
(From ? to one night stands, when everything stands, we were made of plans)

Fake reports of faulty heart does not describe what you were
And god knows what you'd think of us
I'm losing ground to future ghosts
I know that I'm good and I know that I'm close
But god knows what you think of us
Once was enough
Yeah, once was enough

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”

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.
