It all started with closed eyes
And a feeling in my gut telling me
I need to keep them shut the whole time
Because they opened even for a second
And I saw your lips
They'd suck me in like black
Holes when they bend light
And it was then I realized
You were not my world, you were my universe

Sometimes when I look up, I see stars
That cut through the sky and
Fade quickly into nothingness
And I pray that you aren't as fleeting
Because when we're lying in roads
I get the same feeling
That gravity will just turn off
And I'll fall endlessly
Into something much larger than I am
And I wonder if that's what it
Feels like to die and
If I'll ever understand God in my lifespan
Because I want to see God
I want to know what God feels like
But with the weight of the Bible
I will break Adam's ribs
And repeat, my dear Eve
You do not take after this
You were not made in a man's image
But if that's the case
Why do you feel so lost
In the empty space that his hand isn't?
Why do I wait
Wondering how long it'll take
You to admit it?
I'd rather keep my mouth shut than start
To say what I can't finish
Baby, I have limit's i have limit's!

I'm singing 'la la la' in empty rooms
That carry sounds like hollow caves
'La la la' just to prove you're not the
Only one that can occupy a borrowed space
'La la la' for every ship that was
Set to sail but got washed away
I'm singing 'la la la' in desperate
Hopes that when it bounces back
I hear the octave change

So if we could just pretend
That your voice exists inside
This empty void within
Then holy shit, holy shit, holy
Shit, if you spoke
Insomnia might loosen it's wholesome
Grip on my throat and I can begin to forgive
You for admitting the hoax
Instead of learning to hate you
For every minute you don't
Because I sit here wondering if
Anything you said was true
And who it was that taught
You to speak bullets
Without considering the exit wound
Tell me who
Because I still think back to the first time
You called me with nothing to say
That morning you were more
Than just my friend
And we both noticed something had changed
You drove to your parents' house
And we talked about everything
We talked about how much it sucked
But no matter what, we had to remain nothing

And in that deafening silence
I asked if I could still
Call you my snowflake and you said okay
You said okay you said okay

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
