I'm thinking of a number between everything and two
She said you can find a space between my arms if you will stay
Like if we ignore the system they'll just blink out and quickly
Go away

She said I'll keep all the signals that you send home to me
And I'll meet you back here on the ground
It's lift off, lift off again
She's pissed off, pissed off again

Moonlight brings me back again to stay
And I know if she had a way I'd always be through
Tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
And never ever stepping out into

Blankness and darkness, like underneath a leaf, have settled on
Me here and
Scraped away the sound
She said you can find a place inside my heart if you can stay

And I need you back here on the ground
It's lift off, lift off again
She's pissed off, pissed off again
Moonlight brings me back again to stay

And I know if she had a way I'd always be through
Tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
And never ever stepping out into
I'm thinking of a number between everything and two

Moonlight brings me back again to stay
And I know if she had a way I'd always be through
Tethered to a glass ring she keeps beside the phone
And never ever stepping out into

Moonlight brings me back again this day
And I don't feel a thing here anymore
Strings of information slowing to a stop
The tether's end is slipping from its knot

I'm stretching out in two
I'm thinking of a number between everything and two
And it's molecules of you

    She's pissed off again, because he is leaving to do his job. She would have him tethered to a ring by the phone, but the tether is slipping.

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"

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
