Sitting in my bedroom tonight
Thinking of how to change your mind
Since you walked out my life again
Yeah
So I strike a pose and tilt my chin
And hold the light to suit my skin
Your favorite t-shirt on again

Counting hours
Counting lies
Three, two, one
And I smile

Taking pictures of myself, self, self
Taking pictures of myself, self self
Guess I'm reaching out to be assured
All I wanted was to be adored

Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah
But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain
Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf
Taking pictures of myself, self, self

Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself oh oh

I'll post it up in black and white
With a depressing quote on my life
So that you see what I'm going through
Yeah
This is desperation at its best
A conversation to be left
But all my pride was burned by you

Counting days
Counting takes
Three, two, one
I'm awake

Taking pictures of myself, self, self
Taking pictures of myself, self self
Guess I'm reaching out to be assured
All I wanted was to be adored

Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah
But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain
Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf
Taking pictures of myself, self, self

Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself oh oh

Taking pictures of myself, self, self
Taking pictures of myself, self self
Guess I'm reaching out to be assured
All I wanted was to be adored

Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah
But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain
Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf
Taking pictures of myself, self, self

Hey, what you looking at?
Hey, what you looking at?
Hey, what do you looking at?
Hey, what do you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)

Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself oh

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
