Visits to you are suddenly new
and suddenly everything's sacred
I've been here before
Will I be here again?
Please tell me you'll never be taken

Is this another time
Or is this the last time
How much more time
When will time take away my visits to you

Living with this, holding you hand
Knowing I'll have to let go soon
Living right now and right now and right now
Knowing I'll soon be without you

Is this another time
Or is this the last time
How much more time
When will time take away my visits to you

And when you go where your going
Where will you be going
I know I'll keep going
On my visits to you

Is this another time
Or is this the last time
How much more time
When will time take away my visits to you

Is this another time
Or is this the last time
How much more time
When will time take away my visits to you
When will time take away
When will time take away
When will time take away my visits to you

    I just want to say that I am in love with Anthony Rapp, and I think that this song is absolutely amazing. To me, it seems that this song is about someone who is dying. It reminds me of when my grandpa was dying in the hospital...we knew that he was dying, and so it was always a question when we would go visit him if that was the last time.

    I think it's about his mother dying. It's a really sad, beautiful song.

    Yes, this song is about his mother dying. He was performing RENT on broadway at the time, and he took any chance he could to go back home to visit her, knowing her time was coming soon, but not knowing exactly when.

    I love the emotion of that story in this song.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
