Let down when you're on top, you don't stop
You gotta let the little lady talk
One round says you both drop, you don't stop
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

Well, welcome home, midnight till dawn
Light the battle fields, we'll tear the walls down
The girl pulls her own, head-start to fall
See the shock of a citywide blackout

She takes the cake to the podium top
I got nothing left now but to carry on, I'll carry on
Well, welcome home, midnight till dawn
Light the battle fields and let her carry you on

Hey, so make your best wishes
I like to watch them all circle around

Let down when you're on top, you don't stop
You gotta let the little lady talk
One round says you both drop, the last call
On the house where the lover's hanging on

Back down, get on the wall, you don't stop
You gotta let the little lady talk
One round says you both drop, you don't stop
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

Well, welcome home, another late night show
Inviting, with a knock out
The girl takes the talk, cheats you out of the walk
Paralyzing from the waist down

I've caught the wind from the fits you throw
I've got nothing left now but to let it go, I'll let it go
Well, welcome home, another late night show
We're fighting for the knockout

Hey, so make your best wishes
I like to watch them all circle around
Hey, the lottery you wasted
I watch you burn your sweepstakes to the ground

Let down when you're on top, you don't stop
You gotta let the little lady talk
One round says you both drop, the last call
On the house where the lovers hanging on

Back down, get on the wall, you don't stop
You gotta let the little lady talk
One round says you both drop, you don't stop
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

I wanna throw in the towel, yeah
I wanna throw in the towel, oh, oh, yeah
I wanna throw in the towel

So this is how it feels to be down
So this is what it feels like
Yeah, I watch them circle around

Let down when you're on top, you don't stop
You gotta let the little lady talk
One round says you both drop, the last call
On the house where the lovers hanging on

Back down, get on the wall, you don't stop
You gotta let the little lady talk
One round says you both drop, you don't stop
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

Well, welcome home
Well, welcome home, hey, hey
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

Well, welcome home
Well, welcome home, hey, hey
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

Well, welcome home
Well, welcome home, hey, hey
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

Well, welcome home
Well, welcome home, hey, hey
You don't stop the lovers hanging on

    I thought this was about a couple who were in a struggle of some kind, but then something larger made them sort of...fight together. In my head it's some kind of hostile alien takeover or supernatural demons being raised from hell or something insane like that, but that could just be me...xD

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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"

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.

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.

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.
