If I could execute a thousand men
If I could give a thousand years
If I could make some ?sand at least

Maybe if I took a thousand pills
If I fucked a thousand girls
If I cheat the lost God
maybe I could read your mind

You are so damn..I don't, I can't
I don't know what to say

why don't we..damn, how do I say this
what am I allowed to say

I think you are, how do I put this
I don't know how to say

I think I,
damn, I don't, fuck it
what am I suppose to say

What if I died a thousand times
and served a thousand afterlives in hell
what if I dug a thousand mile trench
and let a thousand rats eat my limbs
If I could see through every wall
If I could fast a thousand days
Maybe if I cheat the last God
Maybe I could read your mind

You are so damn..I don't, I can't
I don't know what to say

why don't we..damn, how do I say this
what am I allowed to say

I think you..are, how do I put this
I don't know how to say

I think I,
damn, I don't, fuck it
what am I suppose to say

You are so damn
why don't we
how do I say this
I think you
I think I, damn
fuck it

You are so damn..I don't, I can't
I don't know what to say

why don't we..damn, how do I say this
what am I allowed to say

I think you..are, how do I put this
I don't know how to say

I think I,
damn, I don't, fuck it
what am I suppose to say

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.

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
