You make me lose my cool
And the buttons from my dress shirt
I think I�m happy when I�m with you
I never feel the cuts until they hurt

You make me lose my cool
My inhibitions and my patience
It seems that we�re always on the move
One step ahead of every sense

You are the better of my burden
You are the gap in the trees
Let in through the light

You make me lose my cool
And all the things I thought defined a sense of myself
You make me lose my cool
And you, you�ve come at last now tell, tell me what to do
My shadow is alive and my composure�s gone, I�ve lost all sense of myself
My shadow is alive, and you, you�ve come at last now tell, tell me, tell me, tell me what to do

You make me lose my cool
I wanna step right out of my skin
In the heat of the moment
And stand before you naked as sin

You make me lose my cool
I can't relate to anybody else
You hold my world up on your shoulders
And I've lost, I've lost all sense of myself

You are the better of my burden
You are the gap in the trees
Let in through the light

You make me lose my cool
And all the things I thought defined a sense of myself
You make me lose my cool
And you, you've come at last now tell, tell me what to do
My shadow is alive and my composure's gone, I've lost all sense of myself
My shadow is alive, and you've come at last now tell, tell me, tell me, tell me what to do

You are the better of my burden
You are the gap in the trees
Let in through the sun

You hold my world up on your shoulders
Lifted over your head and throw it down
Throw down the beginnings
Throw down the beginnings

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
