i never gave you all that you needed
i'm so full of me, i forgot about you, babe
this time apart gives you time to see that
all your new guy friends wouldn't treat you like that
you're champagne and i guess i'm shit
and looking back i guess I see why you went through with it and now this coming to terms has me blaming myself and not you
if i can ever get to see you
know this time that we'll be on a different level
now that i can relate to your opinion of me
i never gave you all that you needed
i'm so full of me, i forgot about you, babe
this time apart gives me time to see that
all your new guy friends wouldn't treat you like that
when you called me and spoke about him
i thought you lied to me or changed your mind on a whim but once the nausea passed it all fell into place for me
he's a dreamcast and i'm atari
and i'm a dork for even making that analogy
and its abundantly clear why you made that choice last may
i've moved on its for the best

    A guy gets taken by surprise when he gets dumped by his girlfriend. His girlfriend had been hanging out with some new male friends and realizes that her friends treat her much better than her boyfriend. The guy later realizes that it was actually his fault for losing his girlfriend, and he has been a bad, selfish boyfriend. He looks at the situation from his (former) girlfriend's point of view and he can relate to her opinion of himself.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
