I hear the wind out in the yard
It blows through my button holes
I feel so far removed from this place
The words are still in my mind

But I'm not supposed to think of you
Anymore
No I'm not supposed to think of you
Anymore

And I know that I make you think of something
That you would rather put away
I'm sorry, I'd rather go than hurt you
I never saw it in this way

But I guess I won't be seeing you
Anymore
No I guess I won't be seeing you
Anymore

But if this closure
I think I missed a step somewhere
Between being here and fading out into your memory

Soon you'll cross another time zone
And turn to a fresh blank page
I hope happiness will find you
I hope you'll find hope again

'Cause I can't seem to find you
Anywhere
It's getting time, I give up
I'm letting go

But if this closure
I think I missed a step somewhere
Between being here and fading out into your memory

If this closure
I think I missed a step somewhere
Between being here and fading out into you memory

    thank you so much for putting this song on here! i've been trying to find out who it's by for months cuz when i downloaded it, it was under bright eyes.

    anyhoo- i think this song is talking about the aftermath of a breakup. she hasnt given up yet but she knows she has to so that they can both move on. the line about the time zone could either be metaphorical of literal. i take it literally because i just broke up with my boyfriend because he moved. this song is definitely very fitting. 'i think i missed a step somewhere' - i see this as she feels the closure wasnt really closure, like it didnt end right and thats why she's still in between moving on and being attached. yet again very fitting. this is a great song i love it!

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"

Mountain Song
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."
