This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My poet my brother the wicked child
Who wrote his verse to tame the wild
His song was terrifying true 'cause all that love had gone
The ink that sweats beneath his eyes spoke of pain where comfort lies
And I watched him pen a perfect sonnet even as he cried
Oh, merciful love of mine
Would you be so kind?
It should not hurt but if it does to leave this wretch behind
After the winter returned her linen gown
She asked "My lord, why am I plain?"
With no fair smile and by my sword unsatisfied was slain
The crowning nymph that she would have all bloody and bare with violet hair
It was enough to convince Maybell that she was but a maid
Oh, beautiful friend of mine
Would you be so kind?
It should not hurt but if it does
To leave this wretch behind you
Oh, yeah
Oh, no
Oh, yeah
It's all, it's all, it's all I could afford
Who wrote his verse to tame the wild
His song was terrifying true 'cause all that love had gone
The ink that sweats beneath his eyes spoke of pain where comfort lies
And I watched him pen a perfect sonnet even as he cried
Oh, merciful love of mine
Would you be so kind?
It should not hurt but if it does to leave this wretch behind
After the winter returned her linen gown
She asked "My lord, why am I plain?"
With no fair smile and by my sword unsatisfied was slain
The crowning nymph that she would have all bloody and bare with violet hair
It was enough to convince Maybell that she was but a maid
Oh, beautiful friend of mine
Would you be so kind?
It should not hurt but if it does
To leave this wretch behind you
Oh, yeah
Oh, no
Oh, yeah
It's all, it's all, it's all I could afford

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Head > Heels

“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.
I would agree with what people have said about a portion of this song eluding to a story about Conor Oberst. Especially with the line "I watched him pen a 'Perfect Sonnet'" It doesn't get much clearer than that.
Moving on the song seems to be telling a friend (possibly Oberst) to let a woman go because she is causing some sort of emotional pain.
Again the song switches topic into speaking about a beautiful woman who sees herself as much too ordinary, but satisfied. This woman gives birth to a child and it's a humbling and very real experience. She's just a mother, a maid, a normal person.
Again the lyrics urge the idea that if someone or something is causing pain or unhappiness, you should leave it behind you. And possibly this advice he all he "could afford".
