I Try

Lifehouse

If shame had a face i think that it would kinda look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes?
Would you believe me if i said I'm tired of this?
Well here we go now one more time

Cause i tried to climb your steps
I try to chase you down
I try to see how low i can get down to the ground and
I try to earn my way
I try to change this mind
You better believe that i have tried to be this

So where will this end?
it goes on and on
Over and over and over again
keep spinning around
i know that it wont stop
til i step down from this for good

I never thought i'd end up here, never
thought id be standing where i am
i guess i kinda thought that it would be easier than this
i guess i was wrong
now one more time

Cause i try to climb your steps
I try to chase you down
I try to see how low i can get down to the ground and
I try to earn my way
I try to change this mind
You better believe that i have tried to be this

So where will this end?
it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keep spinning around
i know that it wont stop
til i stand down from this for good

sick cycle carousel
sick cycle, yeah
sick cycle carousel
this is a sick cycle, yeah

So where will this end?
it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keep spinning around
i know that it wont stop
til i stand down from this for good

So where will this end?
it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keep spinning around
i know that it wont stop
til i stand down from this for good

sick cycle carousel
sick cycle carousel
sick cycle carousel
sick cycle carousel
[repeat til fade]

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.
