She’s taking a long walk off a short pier
She’s facing the world and everything but her fear
Of what she can’t see, and who she can’t be
But she’s so much more then what she knows
She’s gone where no one’s dared to go
Into my heart and gave truth to my lies
And she taught me that it’s okay to cry
And she taught me everything I know
She’s everything to me
She’s where I want to be

Sometimes she gets so down on herself
Sometimes she doesn’t see what everyone sees
She can’t hold her beauty like I can’t
I stand outside her and look in
So much beauty within her perfect frame

She’s not “ungrateful;” as the quiet voices say
They’re loud behind the back of their topic
So speechless face to face. Cowards.
She just doesn’t see what I see
I wish she could be me for a day
And observe the light she’s given me

She’s where I want to be
She’s everything to me
She’s got her own song and she’s singing it to the world
But she doesn’t hear the smoothness in her notes
The perfect rhythm to her melody
I dance only to her song

She is beautiful; inside and out
I could watch her graceful motions
And I see the jealousy in those who pass her
But the smiles they inherit when our short meetings are through
And they walk into the light she shed behind her
But she’s taking such a long walk
Off such a short pier
Her journey’s too long to end here

I run my fingers through her hair
And she smiles. Oh, she is so brilliant
She fears she running out of time
She hates time because it isn’t concrete
Because it isn’t made of something physical
She is made of so much more than she knows

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"

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.
