I wish couldn't go back to yesterday,
When I learned the truth about love and hate.
I figured out that life was just a game,
But I play to win so tell me who's to blame?

We point the finger at you.
So tell me what you think you're gonna do.

Rise up. Come face to face.
Rise up. Let's make a change.
Tomorrow could be the end.
Rise up. You better take a shot.
Rise up. When it's all you got.
Tomorrow could be the end.
Rise up.

And now when I go back to yesterday,
So close but still I'm so far away.
You know we all gotta learn from our mistakes,
I can't die young, I won't fade away.

It's time we choose a side.
It's time for do or die.
Somethings are worth the fight,
It's time to set it off.

Rise up. Come face to face.
Rise up. Let's make a change.
Tomorrow could be the end.
Rise up. You better take a shot.
Rise up. When it's all you got.
Tomorrow could be the end.

I wish couldn't go back to yesterday,
I wish couldn't go back to yesterday,

Rise up. Come face to face.
Rise up. Let's make a change.
Tomorrow could be the end.
Rise up. You better take a shot.
Rise up. When it's all you got.
Tomorrow could be the end.

Rise up.
Rise up.
Rise up.
Rise up.

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"

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
