Lyrically Speaking - 2/7/18

Here is a bit of an unusual LSWE game.... especially since this is Wednesday and you're used to seeing a Merry Man here. Below are 12 songs... but for the concept of this game, think of them as three quartets... 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12. Songs 1, 5, and 9 are the key songs to each grouping, and you should quickly see why the three songs that follow each of them fit in. This game isn't supposed to be tricky or clever or anything like that... there are no theme points, and I think most of you will get enough songs to be able to easily recognize what's going on here. This is just the kind of weird anomaly you notice from time to time when you've been putting these games together for over a decade, and I've been wanting to put these oddities into a game for a while now. So, here it is....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. I'm getting lost in a crowd.
Hear me crying out loud.
Just want you to know.
I know that you have to go.
It's all up to you but whatever you do
2. Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
3. We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
4. Know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
5. I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone
I need some company a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow.
6. Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
7. now it's time to say good night to you
now its time to bid you sweet adieu
baby, drink a cheers to yesterday
and maybe you'll drink your tears away
8. My 16th birthday I was so shy
Not yet a man but ready to try
Music playing people saying
I looked around she caught my eye
9. Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
10. We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
11. I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands
12. It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
Kroxquo Bonus: For 10 points, can you come up with another quartet of songs (with artist) that satisfies the theme of this game? You may reuse an artist(s) that appears in this game if you need to.
