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.
Something about the way you look tonight,
Something about the way that I can't take my eyes off you.
Something about the way your lips invite. Maybe it's the way
That I get nervous when you're around, and I want you to be mine.
And if you need a reason why.
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say.
You feel it in the way. Oh, you feel it in the way
Something about how you stay on my mind,
Something about the way that I whisper your name when I'm asleep
Oh girl, maybe it's the look you get in your eyes, oh baby it's the
Way that makes me feel to see you smile, and the reasons they may
Change, but what I'm feeling stays the same.
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say.
You feel it in the way
Oh, you feel it in the way
I can't put my fingers on just what it is that makes me love you
You baby so don't ask me to describe, I get all choked up inside
Just thinkin' 'bout the way
It's in the way that you move me and the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight,
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say.
When you move me and you tease me, the way
Feel it in the way
Something about the way you look tonight
Nothing more to say than I feel it in the way
Something about the way that I can't take my eyes off you.
Something about the way your lips invite. Maybe it's the way
That I get nervous when you're around, and I want you to be mine.
And if you need a reason why.
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say.
You feel it in the way. Oh, you feel it in the way
Something about how you stay on my mind,
Something about the way that I whisper your name when I'm asleep
Oh girl, maybe it's the look you get in your eyes, oh baby it's the
Way that makes me feel to see you smile, and the reasons they may
Change, but what I'm feeling stays the same.
It's in the way that you move me,
And the way you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight.
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say.
You feel it in the way
Oh, you feel it in the way
I can't put my fingers on just what it is that makes me love you
You baby so don't ask me to describe, I get all choked up inside
Just thinkin' 'bout the way
It's in the way that you move me and the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight,
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say.
When you move me and you tease me, the way
Feel it in the way
Something about the way you look tonight
Nothing more to say than I feel it in the way

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I love this song and I love Clay. I can't hear without thinking of my boyfriend
