In the quickness of our haste
It seems we forget how to live
The old blueprint
No longer manifests itself
As the correct way to exist

So wipe the grime off the view hole
And please take a closer look
Environmental bandits
Up to their shenanigans
Crooks disguised

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

Individual roles we think
Not so important to the plot
The big pictures unseen
Leaving life in between
Destroyed and overwrought

There's no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Delinquents caught
Red-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

Yeah, find another way

You see there's many many many many
People in the world
And I'm not sure if I like
What I've heard
I'm not sure if I like
What I'm doing myself
I'm not sure if I like how it'll turn
How it turns

Oh degradation
I mean violation
Inexcusable exploitation
It's the dawning of a new era
People consciously don't care
How unfair

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

And yeah, find another way
Yes there is another way

And find another way
To make the world go 'round
World go 'round
World go 'round

You got to send me another way
And I'm putting this about haste people get
And I'm putting this about haste people get out to you
I'll find another way to make the world go 'round, world go 'round,world go 'round

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"

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
