It ain't right
Feel like I just fell off a freight train
A hundred miles from nowhere
Face down on the desert floor
Right about the time
You need something to lean on
Another cactus comes along
It ain't there...

Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Withering like grapes on the vine
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
The steeper grade, the uphill climb
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Hold me up 'cause I'm falling

I don't mind
But I'm even wearing the wrong damn clothes today
I lost my mind
Is this town even here, you know
I think I lost my...mind
Travel down the tracks
Wait for the train to come

Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Withering like grapes on the vine
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
The steeper grade, the uphill climb
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Hold me up 'cause I'm falling

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"

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.

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.
