one more year, and i'll be heading out on my own
leaving friends and the place that i call home
i don't wanna go
i just need to know that i can come back
i need to know, i only need to know that
you'll be here when i come back home

cuz i don't wanna miss
a single autumn evening here with you like this
i don't wanna miss

all those nights we danced by the moonlight
conversations bout nothin till midnight
you and i huddled close till the daylight came
remember the colors reflected in your eyes
the scene painted golden as the sun rises
over you and me, darling

one more year, we'd better make the best of this one
you just can't beat the weather here in autumn
please stay close to me
i just need to know you're gonna call me
i need to know that everything will all be
okay, while i'm away

    I think it's about the start of your senior year, when it finally hits you this is all the time you have left to be a kid. Those are the last days you can spend all night out and not feel the repercussions in the morning. These are the days when all you can see is the love you feel for someone. This song really sends the message, be young while you can, it will be gone before you know it.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
