Midnight one more night without sleeping
Watching 'til the morning comes creeping
Green door
What's that secret you're keeping?

There's an old piano and they play it hot
Behind the green door
Don't know what they're doing but
They laugh a lot behind the green door
I wish they'd let me in so
I could find out what's
Behind the green door

Knocked once
Tried to tell them I'd been there door slam
Hospitality's thin there wonder
Just what's going on in there

I saw an eye ball peeping
Through a smoky cloud behind the green door
Well, I said Joe sent me
Someone laughed out loud
Behind the green door
All I wanna do is join the happy crowd
Behind the green door

Midnight one more night without sleeping
Watching 'til the morning comes creeping
Green door
What's that secret you're keeping?
Green door
What's that secret you're keeping?
Green Door

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
