Hello, hello, is anyone home?
Hello, hello, just pick up the phone.

I opened up my life to you
I've told you everything I knew
You listen so close
You listen so close when love was just a way out

But you're going deaf now
Yeah you've turned your head around

Hello, hello, is anyone home?
Hello, hello, just pick up the phone.
You'll be sorry to hear, I'm doing fine now.
Sorry to hear, you're without me now.

You blew up the world I built for us
Destroyed our secret universe
Threw out the trust I put in you
Making me feel like I'd been used

And now I'm reminded
That I was just blinded.

Hello, hello, is anyone home?
Hello, hello, just pick up the phone.
You'll be sorry to hear, I'm doing fine now.
Sorry to hear, you're without me now.

I'm doing fine, you'll be alright
Maybe you'll think of me tonight...
You're doing fine, I'll be alright
Just give me time, yeah...

Hello, hello, is anyone home?
Hello, hello, just pick up the phone.
I don't want to hear you're doing fine
Don't wanna hear I'm without you now.

I'm without you now

    I heard she wrote this when she was 12, don't know if that's true, but it would be kind of cool.

    This is a song about how the girl thought that their relationship was so good, they could talk about anything and they were there for each other, but then he just dropped her and she lost that person to confide in, and 'you blew up the universe i built for us.' The lines 'And now I'm reminded That I was just blinded' make me think that even though she thinks of him sometimes, and hopes he thinks of what he's missing out on, she really is over him and sees that she was blinded to all of the faults of their relationship.

    Or maybe that's only my opinion.

    Wow I love how the whole song it's her acting like she's moved on, and bragging to him how she's fine. Like he thought she'd be broken, but she's moved on. But then in the end, we see that she hasn't moved on really, and he's the one who has. She pretends to herself like he still needs her, when in reality she's the one breaking without him.

    Genius, but I really wish the song would end after: "Hello, hello, is anyone home? Hello, hello, just pick up the phone. I don't want to hear you're doing fine Don't wanna hear I'm without you now."

    instead of going on with the instrumental, and then fading out of the song with the line repeated. It would sound so much cooler if it would end with that line instead.

    But yeah, awesome song.

    Peace. ♥

    i love this song, it's like someone broke up with her when she was really happy and probably couldnt work out why it had ended.

    but now she's realised it probably wasnt worth it at all because he isnt as perfect as she first thought 'You'll be sorry to hear, I'm doing fine now'

    she's moved on realised its for the best. 'i'm without you now'

    maybe?

    This song reminds me of an ex-bestfriend of mine... I told her everything I could..so she told everyone what I told her, so kids at school started treating me differently. After a couple of years, they finally moved a million miles away from where my family stays, and I had new friends..now I'm doing fine..

    to me it sounds like she is trying to convince herself she's over him, but she is secretly hoping he is not over her. then in the end she finds out he is perfectly fine, and she doesnt like that. so yea i agree w/ foundthevelvetsun7.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. 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.
