In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You're like a guy on the phone in his Lamborghini|Talking with the man While his wife'a on the other line|He will never say that he really really truly loves her|He just doesn't have time|You're like a friend that was more like an enemy|An evil smile that'll get you anything you need|No one really ever knows the truth|They just don't have time||There's only so much of this that I'm gonna take|You're wasting all my time||Goodbye, you suck|Never really liked you|No more what's up|'Cause I don't care anymore|Goodbye, you suck|Said I never liked you|So long, good luck|Goodbye, you suck||You like the bully in the high school down the street|Living with the pain that is so damn hard to beat|She will never say she's really really truly sorry|She will never shine|You're like the phone call that I always seem to get|Twenty times a day just convincing me to place a bet|But I'm not gonna answer, said I'm not gonna answer||There's only so much of this that I'm gonna take|You're wasting all my time||Goodbye, you suck|Never really liked you|No more what's up|'Cause I don't care anymore|Goodbye, you suck|Said I never liked you|So long, good luck|Goodbye, you suck||Yah, yah, yah, yah [repeat]||You were so over-rated anyway|Way to perfect for my taste|I wish I could've seen this long ago|The happy ending seeing you alone||There's only so much of this that I'm gonna take|You're wasting all my time||Goodbye, you suck|Never really liked you|No more what's up|'Cause I don't care anymore|Goodbye, you suck|Said I never liked you|So long, good luck|Goodbye, you suck|

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

“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.
This song is exactly like this guy I know, Tanner. Ahahaha, I think with me, Shiloh got it right on the dot. Hahaha, you suck !
really like this song, but it's not love...laughs anyways, i would like the time to dedicate this song to my ex best friend.

haha.. the funny thing is, i know exactly who she wrote this song about. i dated him for a few months after he broke her heart.
it's pretty funny that i can relate to this song so much because of it.
