All, all this time we've been wasting baby
You've been playing baby
Sending me all, all these signs
But never, never saying a word
See now I, I'm not trying to figure out, so how bout you.
Tell me what you wanna do? So I can give you all you want
If you just say it, so, say it baby.

[Chorus]
I can understand if you're not ready
If you need me to be patient
Then I'm cool wit waiting
We can take our time, lets get it right
Make it last forever, not just for one night

Girl forgive me if I come across to forward baby
And if I offended you in any way baby
See I just wanna get next to you
'Cause being closer makes it better
When I get to know you baby
Tell me how am I suppose to do that when you
Keep leading me on and you keep pushing me away
When all along I know, yes I do
That you really want me to stay baby.
Ooh!

[Chorus]

Look baby I know that you want me cause I could feel that
You you need me but you seem to be just a little afraid
That cools its OK, it's alright cause I want you baby
I mean I really want you baby. But if you need some time
I'm willing to wait just as long as you know that I want you girl
Cause I want you, but I want you to want me too.

I want you to want me
Just as bad as I want you cause I can understand baby if you're
Not ready and if you need me to be patient wit you
I'll take my time wit you baby,
I'll take my time as much time as you need so we can get this
Thing right girl and make it last forever.
Cause I don't want you to feel I'm here for now and
Gonna be gone tomorrow,
I want this to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
Do you feel
That baby I mean can you understand that, that's real.
That's from my heart.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
