Another sleepless night, turn off my light
Turn it off
Open my books, take in silence,
And wait for the dawn
Lock myself into place
Keep the sun off my face
When the morning comes
TRY to keep it all in sight
Form one thought, break it off, take a breath,
Carry on
You think you matter so much
That you're the only one
In your mind you're a star
That I can see from afar
Before you've even begun
To TRY to keep it all in sight
If you feel it then open your heart
No need to ask it what for
tried to conquer all in sight
Walled their cities as high as they could
Kept them apart from themselves
Fought for ages and raged on the plains
With reasons misunderstood
But to the common good
Raised up their idols proteced their own walked on dinosaur bones
Spread a pestilent nature from mountain to sky
Until the rivers ran dry
And the rivers ran dry
That they owned
Watch the lights flash by my window
Throw ghosts on the wall
And every room in my house
Answers back when I call
Trace the outline within
Trust in dreams to begin
TRY to keep it all in sight
And TRY to work it all out
TRY if you will, TRY if they won't
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
TRY

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"

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
