I knew a girl who loved to sing
She flagged a truck down in the spring
And moved to Tennessee
And grew apart from me
Though I don't think about her much
Well, that's not true
She's in the snow, she's the color blue
She's all the taps that drip
The darker vices that pick me up
To hold me under

Hey now, hey where'd you go?
Find your way back to me, honey
We'll pretend you missed me so
Life's a struggle, a bright illusion, a hustle
Strange through all these harder seasons
You're the one part of this puzzle

That I know by all the curves
The ragged edges, and broken words
Remember your guitar?
How you painted it with stars
And called it Consolation?

Hey now, hey where'd you go?
Paint me up and play me, honey
I'll pretend that I don't know
That life's a struggle, a bright illusion, a hustle
Tell me through these harder seasons
I'm the best part of this puzzle

Hey now, hey wherever you been
Throw your older arms around me
Maybe we'll be young again
So I say hey now, hey wherever you go
Come on back home to me, honey
We'll pretend you missed me so

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.

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.
