3 A.M.

Sean Hayes

Three in the morning closing in
Living in pain, living in sin
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out

Red walls looking for distraction
Red walls looking for distraction
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
Simple simple man you're gonna make it out

Two Seabee, cigarette smoke
Sunday night is long and cold
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out
It's all over man, you're gonna make it out

Broken hand, a broken wall
broken love, crash and fall
Simple simple man you're gonna make it out
Keep it simple man you're gonna make it out

Get up girl, heard you sing
Get up girl, sing for me
Keep it simple now you're gonna make it out
It's all over man, you're gonna make it out

Fire is burning me inside out
Fire is burning me inside out...

It's all over, just like that
A fire comes and you can't strike back
It's all over, just like that
A fire comes and you can't strike back
It's all over, just like that
When the fire comes you can't strike back now
It's all over, just like that
A fire comes and you can't strike back

Desire is burning me inside out
Desire is burning me inside out...

    just FYI the line is not really "Two Seabee..." but "2C-B" in reference to the Ecstasy-like drug.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
