I hope this song can tell you how I feel tonight
You are my first dissection spilling my insides
Lets write our names with the blood that's in our cheeks
So it won't wash away if I don't come home for weeks

If I don't come home...

I never said (never said)
This would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly
And don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less

I knew I should have never offered you the world
The nights are full of faces you're the only girl
Save my world from disaster
Make my heart stop beating faster
Ask the question, here's the answer
I need you now and I can't stand this

I never said (never said)
This would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly
And don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less

Just tell me how you feel...
I need your voice tonight...
Just tell me how you feel...
Whoa, whoa...

So whisper softly and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less

I never said (never said)
This would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly
And don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less

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"

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
