Good morning, sunshine
It's time to wake those tired blue eyes
And face the day
I throw my covers at the slamming of the screen door
My heart is racing as I spill onto the front porch
And she drives away
But the letters swear she'll find her way

I'll fall asleep waiting for you
'Cause if I held my breath
It would be the last thing that I'd ever do
So I'll fall asleep waiting for you
Buried under blankets meant for two
'Til I wake up next to you

Two years under love in the making
All these plans and dreams we've had
Are taking shape
Another night, another show, afterparty
Then we hit the road
Until one day we roll into your town
A familiar voice sings out

I'll fall asleep waiting for you
'Cause if I hold my breath
It would be the last thing that I'd ever do
So I'll fall asleep waiting for you
Buried under blankets meant for two
'Til I wake up next to you

To you, to you, to you

Pray and pray but it won't get better
Drive all night but you can't outrun the weather, no, oh
You can try and try but it won't get better
You can stay the night, it won't last forever

I'll fall asleep waiting for you
'Cause if I held my breath
It would be the last thing that I'd ever do
So I'll fall asleep waiting for you
Buried under blankets meant for two
'Til I wake up next to you (x2)

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
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.
