What can I say?
I'll bite my tongue again today.
What can I do when I feel so stupid over you?
I wish they'd go ahead and cut it off.

And I don't want to work anymore
Cause sometimes I just can't ignore
The way I feel when I see you smile.
And someday I'll just shut my eyes
And maybe then you'll realize
I'm just a fucking geek in love with you.

When's the right time
To use a stupid pick up line?
"So how's the weather?
Do you want to spend the night together?"
I know that you are just a girl
But in my eyes you rule the world
I just thought I'd let you know

You're my best friend and that's OK
But I want to see you night and day
And wake up holding you right by my side!
I've said my piece so now I'll run and hide

I'd bring you candy and flowers,
Sit by the phone for hours
Sing a song outside your window
Just if you would let me know
No more waking up lonely
Will you be my one and only
Please let me know right now
Cause I'm not gonna live forever

    I love this song. It reminds me of my best friend who I've had a crush on forever although as far as I know he has no idea. It's the wanting-to-tell-them-how-you-feel- but-not-wanting-to-risk-detroying-the-friendship feeling. I still haven't told him yet. I wonder when I'll find the confidence to...

    I went to north carolina once. Well...actually it wasn't me personally, but my parents did one time I think. Actually, I don't think they did, but they could have. Does anyone want to date me?

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"

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.
