The warmth in your smile is the warmth that I desire,
Cause it's cold and lonely in this place, oh yeah.
And I need to get close to the flames in a fire,
And lose myself in yesterday, oh yeah.

It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I can be with you again, and see your smile.
It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I hold you in my arms all through the night,
It's gonna be a long long time.

Lookin' outside and I feel so uninspired,
And It rain's all through this lonely night, oh yeah.
I'm losing my mind and my soul is feelin' tired,
Cause girl you are my guiding light, oh yeah.

It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I can be with you again, and see your smile.
It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I hold you in my arms all through the night,
It's gonna be a long long time.

Girl I been missin' you, I never thought I'd feel this way.
All the feelings I have inside grow stronger everyday.
Girl I want you to know that I will never let you go.
You're the only one I really want and there's one thing you've gotta know.

It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I can be with you again, and see your smile.
It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I hold you in my arms all through the night,
It's gonna be a long long time.

It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I can be with you again, and see your smile.
It's gonna be a long long long time,
Till I hold you in my arms all through the night,
It's gonna be a long long time.

Listen girl I need you
Are you there?
There's nothing I can do about it
And I want to hold you
And show you how much you mean to me
Oh yeah That's right
Don't you know I want you in my life, my life, my life

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"

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.

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.
