Meet me in a doorway
I'll be painting pictures of gates
You were so crazy
I was so chaste
I don't know what happened to me
I don't know

I don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about it

You rendered me conscious
You cut my innocent face
I'm not really bitter
Then again I'm not amused
I just want to kick you till you cry
I loved I really loved you

I don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about it

Meet me in a doorway
I'll be wearing Middleton's lace
It's as sterile as chess
Nobody'd guess
You were touching me
between the love of God and sister mercy

I don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about it
No I, no I, no I, I don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about it

    This is a really awesome song.

    So far as I can tell, this is about a fairly innocent and/or inexperienced young woman falling in love with a more experienced and far less innocent man. She allows him to take her virginity, expecting to have a long term relationship with him. However, he takes her naivete as well by not giving her the long term commitment she thought she was getting. Now, she's angry enough with him to want to hurt him, but at the same times she's grateful to him for showing her how the real world works.

    I can't believe no one has commented on this. This is a good song. I love the lead singer's voice.

    You can hear the song on projectplaylist.com. Wild Strawberries is a partnership between husband and wife who are also both doctors. Beautiful stuff!

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.
