I'm walking home alone
past all the bars and corner delis
when I heard God call out my name

and he said "Hey,
Let's grab a beer
It's awful late
We're both right here"

And we didn't even have to pay
'cause God is God
and he's revered

and I said
"Why doesn't it get better with time?"
I'm becoming all alone again
Stay, stay, stay

Let the ones who want it bad
get all the things that make 'em better
Let the ones who don't care feel a thrill

And I just wanna ride
but this whole world
it makes me car sick

Stop the meter, sir
You have a heart
Why don't you use it?

Why doesn't it get better with time?
I'm becoming all alone again
Stay, stay, stay

I've been walking home alone
past all all the bars and corner delis
when I heard God call
call my name

And he said "Hey
Let's grab a beer
It's awful late
We're both right here"

And I didn't even have to pay
'cause God is God
and he's revered

and I said
"Why doesn't it get better with time?"
I'm becoming all alone again
Stay, stay, stay

I'm becoming all alone again

Stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay, stay

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
