I want to dance with Harry Dean
Drive through Texas in a black limousine
I want a piece of heaven 'fore I die

I want to pair of pink high heels
That catch the lights up on the Ferris wheel
But what I really want I just can't buy

Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
"'Cause I want everything I see
But most of all I want that man

I want that man

I want to move like what's-his-name
I'll keep the money, you can have the fame
Everything that's yours will soon be mine

Yeah I want to be the queen of the USA
You can send me roses every other day
But what I really want I just can't buy

Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I see
But most of all I want that man

I want that man

I want to be kissed from head to toe
By that man in the very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye

I want his love to rain right down on me
I want him to be king of all my dreams
What I really want I just can't hide

Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man

I want that man

Yeah I want that man

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.
