Good things come to those you wait
They say patience is a virtue
But all I've got is the time it takes me to hurt you
I feel so little I need so much without something to believe in
Now all I've given is all I've got
That's all he had to say
Give me all, give me some, give me anything you want
You know love will only get you through the night
Give me all, give me some, give me anything you want
You know love will only get you through the night

She's not asking much from me
So I don't ask no questions
If that's the way it's gonna be
Then I call no objections
We're two that feel the same
Can't handle situation
All you've given is all you gain
So all I gotta say is
Give me all, give me some, give me anything you want
You know love will only get you through the night
Give me all, give me some, give me anything you want
You know love will only get you through the night

    Good things come to those who wait They say patience is a virtue But all I've got is the time it takes me to hurt you I feel so little I need so much without something to believe in Now all I've given is all I've got But all she had to say

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

    She's not asking much from me So I don't ask no questions If that's the way it's gonna be Then I get no objections We are two that feel the same Can't handle situation All you've given is all you gain So all I gotta say is

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

    Give me all, give me some Give me anything you want You know love will only get you through the night

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
