Starting over again
Looking 'round the bend
I didn't see you coming
I didn't see you there

My eyes are lion strong
Couldn't cut through the storm
And you were right there waiting
For my cover to fall, I didn't see you at all

I didn't see you coming
There were no signs of warning
And you came from behind
It's not right, it's not right
You're not playing fair, I didn't see you there

I feel the nails sink in
I felt them cut through my skin
Wake up it's over, am I dreaming again?
Baby, where have you been, oh, oh

I didn't see you coming
There were no signs of warning
And you came from behind
It's not right, it's not right
You're not playing fair, I didn't see you there

I'm alive, I'm alive
Yeah, you fixed my broken wings
I can fly, I can fly
Oh, how I need you by my side
By my side, by my side

I'm so scared of giving in but I'll try
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

Lay my body down
There's no stopping us
Let the waves wash over
Let it all come down
Yeah, yeah

I didn't see you coming
There were no signs of warning
And you came from behind
It's not right, it's not right
You're not playing fair, I didn't see you there

I didn't see you coming
There were no signs of warning
And you came from behind
It's not right, it's not right
You're not playing fair, I didn't see you there

I didn't see you coming
There were no signs of warning
And you came from behind
It's not right, it's not right
You're not playing fair, I didn't see you there

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.

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.

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.

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.
