Wonderful

Nine Days

The days the nights,
the search for an angel
For lack of love
For what I used to be
A certain thing
a certain comfort
One last cloud is over me
She was the one
she was the warm air
She was the talk a best friend gave to me
Four lazy nights in new york city
High above eight-first street
And all my friends they say I'm careless like I've always been
Why don't I let my self love her like I should
She's wonderful to you
she's wonderful to me
So why cant I believe
she's wonderful with me, me
The way she walks
the way she wanders
The way she talks
a whisper to my ear
All of the things you take for granted
A far watch discover in a year
They always say they'd give up anything
They always say they watch her with a tear
Don't mean to fake, to be sarcastic
Why must my conscience disappear
All my friends they say I'm useless like I've always been
Why don't I let my self love her like I should
She's wonderful to you
she's wonderful to me
So why cant I believe
she's wonderful with me, me
Mirrors on the ceiling
Staring up at my reflection
Its not her that lies above me
All temptation
all the candy
All those phony faces
don't compare to your embraces
I think I've lost my patience
Always down and always wasted
And all my friends they say I'm careless like I've always been
I think I let myself love like I should
She's wonderful to you
She's wonderful to me
I think I can believe
She's wonderful with me, me

    great song

    its about someone who is reluctant to love a person, that someone is reluctant because s/he is not confident and does not think that the person would love him/her back, but everyone sees that the person (the line, "All my friends they say im useless like i've always been") does like that someone. The song is telling us, go for it, go for what you feel and don't deny yourself, you'd be denying the other person, too

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use 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"

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
