I wait around from this still small center
From state to center
Well which one is it?
Just who do you think you are?
(Who do you think you are?)

Well who did you come to
Well is it who I think it is I swear to god
Well is it who I think it is?

You always knew it was on purpose
Yeah what's the point if it don't serve it's purpose
Splits up to focus your eyes couldn't swell
You're built from distractions so brilliantly dull
Well I had a better friend in my worst ..
That I'd rather have then either one of you

Well I never made a scene
(Well they came to me)
I never made a scene
Well they came to me
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene

I always know to avoid the issue
Got me alone so I couldn't address you
Don't do this where your making love
Don't get yourself confused
Besides what's it to you?
Well I'm training in my conscience for your
For your confidence
Attacked my lungs with lies still past the time

I didn't have to I didn't have to
I never made a scene
I didn't have I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene

I never made a scene
Well they came to me
I never made a scene
Well they came to me

I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene

    A few things I'd like to point out.. I do think this is about Shaun and John, but also about Fred and the new bassist (sorry, his name has totally slipped my mind at the moment.) Did anyone notice the song is called The Union? Obviously referring to the new line-up. Louie said:

    "i never made a scene, they came to me" i read in an interview with john and shaun after the breakup and the ywere saying how adam tried to attract attention to himself wherever he went, ect.

    I also read in an interview that Fred was pressured into contacting Eddie when he was having financial problems and applying to join the band. This is significant because as Louie said Adam never "made a scene/they came to me". Notice how Fred is singing "I didn't have to, I didn't have to"? (join The Union/band)

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
