Matchbox Twenty

She said it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
She said it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is strained
And

[Chorus:]
She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
The rain's gonna wash away I believe it

She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is strained...
And

[Chorus:]
She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
Well heaven she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining

[Chorus:]
She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
Well heaven she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it

Well it's 3 am I must be lonely
Well heaven she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

This song is about when he was twelve and taking care of his mother who had cancer. He was trying to take care of her, but she was still worried about him. This inspires me to look after my mom who has mild alzheimer's, and let her care about me instead of pushing her away.

Sarah: That's amazing that they were able to do something like that.

Freddy: All of Nickelback's songs are really inspiring and great to listen to.

2.From underneath the trees, we watch the sky

Confusing stars for satellites
     
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
         
But here we are, we're here tonight
Prechorus:
        
Singing Amen I, I'm alive

Singing Amen I, I'm alive
[CHORUS]
            
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
           
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
            
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
            
We'd see the day, when nobody died
And I'm singing

A-Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
    
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Verse2:
           
And in the air the fireflies
      
Our only light in paradise
            
We'll show the world they were wrong
              
And teach them all to sing along
Prechorus:
       
Singing Amen I, I'm alive (I'm alive)
       
Singing Amen I, I'm alive
[CHORUS]
          
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
          
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
         
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
           
We'd see the day, when nobody died

         
If everyone cared and nobody cried,

If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
          We'd see the day, when nobody died

3.Meaning for this song is  i think this song is telling us that the world could be better if everyone got along and cared about other people.Another one would be everybody is looking out for #1. We need to start caring about others also. That the world would be a better place if we would start caring about others. 
4.And 
yes, i think it's a good song. This song has so much meaning behind it and it's soo deep.

Comments" Miles- That song is a cool awesome song the way the beat moves thru it is amazing!

Olivia- That song looks really good. 

The message of this song is that you not let people think that it is never Christmas. This song inspires me to make sure everyone i know and don't know to make sure they know that it is Christmas. It also inspires me to know that Christmas isn't about the gifts under the tree it is about being with family. It also inspires me to think of the people that don't get to have Christmas and how they must feel not being able to be with family. It also inspires me to be greatful for the family i have to spend Christmas with.

(One Direction)
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid

(Ed Sheeran)
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

[Dido:]
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy

(Sam Smith)
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

[Robbie Williams:]
But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but while you're having fun

[Sugababes:]
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear

[Fran Healy:]
Where the only water flowing

[Fran Healy & Sugarbabes:]
Is the bitter sting of tears

[Fran Healy & Justin Hawkins:]
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

[Bono:]
Well tonight were reaching out and touching you

[Will Young & Jamelia:]
And bring peace and joy to Africa

[Ellie Goulding]
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow

[Group of ten and Joss Stone:]
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

[Tom Chaplin (Keane):]
Here's to you

[Justin Hawkins (Darkness):]
Raise a glass for everyone

[Dizzee Rascal:]
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive

[Busted:]
Here's to them

[Justin Hawkins (Darkness):]
Underneath that burning sun

[Dizzee Rascal:]
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless

[Joss Stone & Justin Hawkins:]
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

[Tom Chaplin:]
Feed the world

[Tom Chaplin & Chris Martin:]
Feed the world

[Tom Chaplin & Chris Martin & Sugababes:]
Feed the world

[Tom Chaplin & Chris Martin & Sugababes:]
Feed the world

[Everyone in full chorus line.]
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again - [repeated]

[Group of ten:]
Feed the world

[Everyone in full chorus line.]
Feed the world - [repeated to end]

Comments: Freddy: I actually like that song too it really shows a good message of caring.

Mrs.Whitley: I like that song to.

Know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost

[Drake: Verse 1]
I've asked about you and they've told me things
But my mind didn't change, I still the feel the same
What's a life with no fun? please don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know
We know, they don't get you like I will
My only wish is I die real
Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case
Big girls all get a little taste
Pushing me away so I give her space
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thanking you, just don't know
Try to run from that, say you're done with that
On your face girl, it just don't show
When you're ready, just say you're ready
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
And the parties over, just don't forget me
We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
Won't ever have to worry,
You won't ever have to hide
If you've seen all my mistakes
So look me in my eyes

[Rihanna]
Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost

[Drake: Verse 2]
It's my birthday, I get high if I want to
Can't deny that I want you, but I lie if have to
Cause you don't say you love me
To your friends when they ask you
Even though we both know that you do (you do)
One time, been in love one time
You and all your girls in the club one time
All so convinced that you're following your heart
Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know
We know, you hate being alone
You ain't the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
And they sold you one
You love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin' to save you
Instead they said,

(Dont tell me, I don't care, if you dare)
(I don't tell you, you don't care, if you're true)
(Dont tell me, I don't care, if you dare)
(I don't tell you, you don't care, if you're true)

[Rihanna]
Know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost

This song get's to me every time. It get's to me because they are showing you that someone cares for you and don't let people get you down. They are also saying that you aren't the only one who feels these feelings. No one should ever feel these feelings."

Olivia Cruz- I'll still be smiling in the dark because you say who you say you are" I like that lyric it's pretty good.

Freedy - I like Nickelback.

But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open and I,
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

"We're The World (USA For Africa)"

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We all are a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well...well...well
Let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

2. This song is a call for action. It was a charity song from 1985 to help with the devastation from an earthquake in Haiti. The proceeds from this song went to help aide in the disaster. The song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. This song has sold over 20 million copies world wide.

Comments:

Olivia--I like the part of the song where it says "Life's gonna knock you down, it's not gonna keep you down." I think this is very true. Life is full of difficulties, obstacles, challenges, and sorrows. The important thing is to keep getting up, not giving up and to finish the race before us. Life.

Miles--I like the part of the song where it says, "I will take care of you. I've loved and I've lost." I think that when we have lost love in life that it can make us more appreciate the love that we find.

This song inspires me because it shows that even if life gets hard that God is still there and he always has your back no matter what.

Sarah: I was also going to do that song, It makes me sooo happy. I'm getting tickets to tehir upcoming tour! Im so excitedd.

Miles: That song is super emotional but I really like it and it's message.
