Well I'll see you around
I don't want to stay and drown
The drama got too thick
Makes me sick
And I don't want to talk about it
I already thought about it
Stripped down of my pride
Well I shed them tears and dried these eyes

It was fun at the start
But maybe we're worlds apart
Facing different ways
Different plains
And I don't want to drag it out and
I just gotta get on out and
Leave it all behind
It's time so don't deny it

I want to know
Does it show on my face
I'm sick of this place
I want to move on
Coz the feeling is gone yeah
I want to see
Is it me out the door
I told you before
I want to have fun and it's just begun

I've seen the light
Tried to talk about it
If you were ever down for me
Just stop
And you'd see
You know I'm right
And it showed in your eyes
What we had shared had run empty
So let it be
Let it be

I want to know
Does it show on my face
I'm sick of this place
I want to move on cause the feeling is gone yeah
I want to see
Is it me out the door
I said it before
I want to move on and it's just begun

    I have always wondered bout the line "I shed the tears, then dried these eyes..." I think it would be interesting if the lyric was "I shed the tears THAT dried these eyes."

    Like to me..that means you know...you have one big cry, and because of the big cry...you are done crying {dwelling for an extended amount of time!}...i dunno...tell me what you think!!??

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
