Hold in your last breath and stare
Assure me your metronome's left arm stick shift
Is stuck on the right words in your ear
Did you hear me loud and clear, in sight and out of mind?
Cautiously avoiding the cracks
Not to disturb your steadied-arm straight line
The facts before a climb, a plan before a crime
Tired in the days that passed away
Sporadically arranged across your floor when you've got it made

Dear Mariah
The world's not big enough for the both of us
When we live in the same town, that's wrong
Fight on, fire (fight on, fire)
I'll burn my hands 'til I've got nothing left
To count my numbers on, that's wrong
What's right?

Wise-ass comments could cheer you up
The emotional disturbance, relax, deep breath, sit back
From the space in which you stand
Here and in demand
Don't touch a fresh wound that bleeds
All over your carpets, the stains, the storybook remains
And the page that states you've lied
Accept and then reply, acknowledge the other guy
Tired in the days that passed away
Sporadically arranged across the floor when you've got it made (days that passed away)

Dear Mariah
The world's not big enough for the both of us
When we live in the same town, that's wrong
Fight on, fire (fight on, fire)
I'll burn my hands 'til I've got nothing left
To count my numbers on

Don't change your mind when all's been won
Your words, in time, with the loss that you'd let them go
Don't let them fall if your grip's not strong
In time, decide, with the words that you'd let them go
Don't let them fall if your grip's not strong

Dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Oh, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Well, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Oh, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own

When eye meets eye, become
We'll lie here alone, locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor, in the floor

Father figure wraps his face up
He'll be coming home to you
(Who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
Locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
