I will be the one to love and comfort you from now until the day I die
I will take you places that you only think about when you're asleep at night
Let me take the time to understand and I will set your spirit free

Whoa

If you get down on me, I'll get down on you
I will do anything that you want me to
It's a game of give and take to make it through
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight

When night time turns to day again
And you are on my mind
Winter turns to spring and then
Life has past you by
But now we are so young and free
But we're running out of time
So while we've got each other here
Let's treat our bodies right

I wanna know, exactly what to do
So that you'll never get me off of your mind
Communicate, and I'll go undercover
Gonna make you come tonight
Over to my house

If you get down on me, I'll get down on you
I will do anything that you want me to
It's a game of give and take to make it through
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight

I'm not the type to change your mind
If you wanna take it slow
No pressure to go all the way
These are the places we can go
Anytime is the right time to reveal it
When two people fall as deep as you and me
I wanna know every inch of your body
So I can set your spirit free

If you get down on me, I'll get down on you
I will do anything that you want me to
It's a game of give and take to make it through
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight

I will be the one to love and comfort you from now until the day I die
I will take you places that you only think about when you're asleep at night
If you open up to me
I'll make you realize the things that you could never see
Let me take the time to understand and I will set your spirit free

If you get down on me, I'll get down on you
I will do anything that you want me to
It's a game of give and take to make it through
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight

If you get down on me, I'll get down on you
I will do anything that you want me to
It's a game of give and take to make it through
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight

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"

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
