“Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly…
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line…
For angels to fly,
Or angels to die”
-“The A Team” Ed Sheeran
“Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies…
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep…
Will you let her go?
... And you let her go”
-“Let Her Go” Passenger
“Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
...Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
Tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
… Right in this moment this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind…
Come on skinny love, what happened here?
… And now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
And I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?”
-“Skinny Love” Bon Iver
“I wish I could do better by you
‘Cause that’s what you deserve
You sacrifice so much just to make this work
While I’m odd chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please, know that I’m yours to keep
My beautiful baby girl
When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave, fulfill someone else’s dreams
I think I might totally be lost”
“The Girl” – City and Colour
“The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
…Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks…
You are, you are…
And nothing else compares”
“Clocks” Coldplay
