Picture this.
The rain is pouring outside,
and the street lights,
they wont give us enough light,
to see, the direction we have to go.
Yea, and dont let, anyone know,
where we will run to.
And I need those lips,
that ignite my bones. (and keep my heart afloat)
I'll tear down the stars and Ill give them to you.
They're not as pretty as your eyes,
but I guess it will have to do.
I'll tear down the stars,
we can ride it to the moon.
I'll float till I find you.
I wouldnt ever let you fall, down.
Picture this.
Our clothes are soaked but its fine,
cuz the fires still burning in our eyes.
The heat, might be more than we can stand.
And dont let, anyone know, where we will run to.
Now I need those lips,
that ignite my bones. (and keep my heart afloat)
I'll tear down the stars and Ill give them to you.
They're not as pretty as your eyes,
but I guess this will have to do.
I'll tear down the stars,
we can ride it to the moon.
I'll float till I find you.
I wouldnt ever let you fall,
With out me,
under you. (under you)
under you. (under you),
at all.
Back down. If I had the chance.
I would make it all okay.
I would make you feel like,
you're the only one who matters most.
If I had the chance,
I would replace all the grays,
with sunny days.
We can sit for hours on my roof and tell the rain to go away.
Go away.
I'll tear down the stars and Ill give them to you.
(give them to you)
They're not as pretty as your eyes,
but I guess it will have to do.
(have to do)
I'll tear down the stars,
we can ride it to the moon.
I'll float till I find you.
I wouldnt ever let you fall, down.

    If I had the chance. I would make it all okay. I would make you feel like, you're the only one who matters most. If I had the chance, I would replace all the grays, with sunny days. We can sit for hours on my roof and tell the rain to go away. Go away.

    *gad, this whole part right here makes me cry; this song really hits me. All time favorite. I absolutely love this song. I think it's about someone showing how much they love & appreciate someone. & to brittyblindside, I totally agree; I'd fall for the guy who sings this to me too (:

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.
