I got the concept and came to the conclusion
That the top floor was just an illusion
To the fact that I got this break in my back
That I can't get out, I can't figure out how

You appeared right in front of me
Before you marched down South, the university
Is where you spend your daylight
We're both just waiting for this Friday night

Although the distance is daring, we both know how to drive
Oh, we can't make up for the lost times that we both apologize for
And I can't stand the fact that this extremity is the center of my day
I see where you're coming from

We've been on the same boat since day one
I see how you like to run
Back to the things that got you here, oh
Although the distance is daring, we both know how to drive

Oh, we can't make up for the lost times that we both apologize for
And I can't stand the fact that this extremity is the center of my day
You're the center of my day
Oh, Mondays I sleep away

Tuesdays I lay awake
Wednesdays they are the worst
Whoa, Thursdays I reminisce
Friday, I see your face and I can't breathe

Although the distance is daring, I sure know what it's like to be alone

    "Weekend make-up for the lost time that we both apologie for" should be "we can't make-up for the lost times that we both apologize for" and at the end where you have "and i can breathe." it's "and i can't breathe"

    this song is clearly about a long distance realtionship. he's saying, yeah they're far apart but they can drive and still see eachother. hence the "although the distance is daring, we both know how to drive." pretty self explanitory there.

    i may be wrong though. either way, this song is wonderful. <3

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”

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.

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.
