[VERSE 1 Stephen + (Courtney):]
I've been drinking here since 5, it's 2AM and everybody's gone
The bar man's cleaning up, the jukebox off and all the lights are on
(I look up from my PBR, and see your desperate stare)
(Well, you're a drunk and I've got low esteem, we make a perfect pair)

[CHORUS 1 {Both} + Stephen:]
{And we can read each other's minds}
{Tonight we're the best that we could find}
There's no one left but you - {I guess you'll do}
{I guess you'll do}

[VERSE 2 (Courtney) + Stephen:]
(You're not the kind of guy I would ever tell me friends about)
I smell like Taco Bell, you'll probably get sick when we make out
(And I bet you've never been with someone quite my size)
Yeah, but your face not so bad, if I kinda squint my eyes

[CHORUS 2 {Both} + Stephen:]
{And even though you're gonna laugh}
{For the minute a half} that I'm inside of you
{I guess you'll do}
{I guess you'll do}

[BRIDGE {Both} + Stephen + (Courtney):]
{We wear our desperation well} walking into this motel
{A scent of sadness fills the room} along with your cheap perfume
(...And Taco Bell)
{And Taco Bell}

[CHORUS 2 {Both} + Stephen:]
{And I don't mean to be unkind}
{But baby, even you don't mind} an STD or two
{I guess you'll do}
{I guess you'll do}
I guess you'll do

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

When We Were Young
Blink-182

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.
