Watching you watching me
A fine way to fall asleep
The neighbors fight as we both rest our eyes

Hands in the fallen snow
Numb to the winter cold but we don't mind 'cause we'll get warm inside

You're the reason I come home
You're the reason I come home my love
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart
You're the reason I come home

Paper doll silhouettes
Fingertips on window glass
The street's asleep so I breathe you in deep

The tragedies of chemistry
People dream of what you and me have found effortlessly

You're the reason I come home
You're the reason I come home my love
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart
You're the reason I come home

And for a long time I remember saying prayers for something perfect
Saying prayers for someone kind
It's in my head
We're spinning circles down the avenues instead

You're the reason I come home
You're the reason I come home my love
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart
You're the reason I come home

    My Opinion

    I honestly cannot believe that no one has commented on this song yet! I know that Ron Pope isn't a big artist, but come on! I personally think that this is one of his best songs, and it is soooo cute. I think it's about a guy who has a girl back home, but he doesn't live there anymore and has no reason to go home or maybe he just doesn't want to go home but when he thinks of her he wants to go home, or obviously, as the title says, she is the only good reason he goes home.

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"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
