I'm takin' my time,
I'm trying to leave the memories of you behind,
I'm gonna be fine,
As soon as I get your picture right out of my mind,

I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you,
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to,
But every time I call you don't have time,
I guess I'll never get to call you mine,

For nothing at all,
I know there's a million reasons why I shouldn't call,
With nothing to say,
I could easily make this conversation last all day,

I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you,
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to,
But every time I call you don't have time,
I guess I'll never get to call you mine,

Another lesson I didn't get to learn
Your my obsession
I've got nowhere to turn

I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you,
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to,
I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you,
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to,

I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you,
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to,
But I guess I'll never get to call you mine

    I love this song.. I think its about a guy wanting to be with someone, but them not wanting the same thing and him knowing it. "I'll be fine as soon as I get your picture right out of my mind" He's trying to get over this girl, yet still can't help but want to be with her. Its great because its easy to relate to.

    I heard of simple plan last year during the summer time, waited anxiously for their damn cd to come out, and when they do this is like, the best song on it ... it describes how you feel when you like someone so much and they give you their number and you have nothing to say ... beautiful, plus it grabs the emotion of being nervous about someone.

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
