Cry me a river
You're so sad, you're out of your mind
Let's see some tears
I wanna know what's making you blind

I start leaving fast, driving pace
Fueled by your pretty face
Knowing that I require more
Wait a second turn around
I can fall further down
As my car drives me straight to your door

I've got this problem baby
It's somewhat unhealthy
I guess that you could say
That I'm just burnt out
I need someone to push me around
Drag me and kick me down
I think I'm some kind of addict

The cold shoulder
You're so sad, I think I might cry
I am so sick of seeking peace in finding out why

I start running fast, don't need to try
Racing from your pretty eyes
Honey I've seen that trick before
But hold your horses I turn back
My conscience seems to be in lack
I'm knocking on your door

I've got this illness baby
I'm needing you to see me
I guess that you could say
I'm just burnt out
I need someone to stand down to
To love and tell me what to do
I think I'm some kind of addict

I start leaving fast, driving pace
Fueled by your pretty face
Knowing that I require more
Wait a second turn around
I can fall further down
As my car drives me straight to your door

I've got this problem baby
It's somewhat unhealthy
I guess that you could say
That I'm just burnt out
I need someone to push me around
Drag me and kick me down
I think I'm some kind of addict
I'm an addict

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
