I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me

Your words cut deeply
They're just some other lies
I'm hiding from a distance
I've got to pay the price
Defending all against it
I really don't know why
You're obsessed with all my secrets
You always make me cry
You seem to wanna hurt me
No matter what I do
I'm telling just a couple
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (see me, see me, see me, see me)

I'm not trying to avoid you
Just don't wanna hear your voice
When you call me up so often
I don't really have a choice

You're talking like you know me
And wanna be my friend
But that's really too late now
I won't try it once again

You may think that I'm a loser
That I don't really care
May think that it's forgotten
But you should be aware
'Cause I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
But sure I wanna join you for one day

You seem to wanna hurt me
No matter what I do
I'm telling just a couple
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (sitting down here)
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow (not like a shadow)
But sure I wanna join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (sitting down here)
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow (not like a shadow)
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (sitting down here)
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow (not like a shadow)
But sure I wanna join you for one day

    this song is for my friend who hurt me in the past. the words are so true to someone who i regarded as a friend but i don't understand why she "seem to wanna hurt me" with bad words 'that cut so deeply" and she seems "obsessed with all my secrets" so she can embarrass me in front of other people. Now I play invisible to her. I just got tired to care anymore. It hurts so much when someone u cared for hurt u like that. but this song makes me feel like it doesn't matter anymore. somehow during that period of my life when she is hurting me, I sing this song and because of the happy tune I feel better. i love this song because of that.

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
