After the hopin' and the prayin' and the wishin'
Girl you're right here in my face
I've never been the one to bite my tongue, no
But I have not one word to say
I'm mesmerized by your sexy eyes, and
Your soft and lovely skin
I want this fiasco to end
So baby we can start all over again

Listen
I want to be able (I want to be able to love you, oh I)
I want to be able (And let me be the one to please you, oh I)
As sure as the sunshine shines all over the earth
You're one of God's most precious worth's
See I'm a man and we make mistakes but please don't take your love away, oh I

Don't take your love away (Don't take)
Baby don't take your love away from me
I need you girl
Don't take your love away (oh)

Don't take your love away (don't take)
Baby don't take your love away from me (my baby)
I need you girl
Don't take your love away baby

Mama said don't put your hands in the cookie jar
She said son have control
She said everything that's sweet ain't good for you, no
(That's what she said)
And everything that glitters ain't gold
And now that you're gone
I realize (yes I do) I lost my soul (preach)
And I want to pass the torch
Baby can you give me one more (one more) chance
I want to be able (able to do everything I didn't do before for you baby)
I want to be able (Listen, I want to love you o, o, o, over again)
Gotta hold myself together, stay strong
Baby you been gone too long
See I'm a man and we make mistakes so baby, baby, baby don't take your love away

Don't take your love away (I'll get down on my hands and knees)
Baby don't take your love away from me (Beggin, beggin you please)
I need you girl
Don't take your love away (don't, don't leave me now)
Don't take your love away (I need you right here with me)
Don't take your love away (please, please, please, please, please yeah)
Baby, don't take your love away from me (don't take your love away)

See girl I know that I hurt you so (girl I know)
All of those girls that were in my world (In my world)
Now Stacy and Kim
Damn all of them
Girl I want to give you everything that I can (everything yeah)
I know you're tired of my game (of my game)
Tired of my lies (of my lies)
Baby this time I promise it'll be alright
(No, no, no, no, no)
No longer will you be lead astray
Baby listen to the words I say

Don't take your love away (yeah, yeah)
Baby don't take your love away from me
(Yes, don't take your love no)
I need you girl
Don't take your love away (I've been searchin here and there, everywhere)
Don't take your love away (and can't find no one like you, no)
Don't take your love away (don't take your love away)
Baby don't take your love away from me (listen to me lady, lady, lady)
I need you girl
Don't take your love
Hm, hm, hm

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
