There's a yellow light
underneath the clouds
the city is at rest
I think of this and that
while holding my breath
don't ring the alarm
don't put up a fight
over things I've said and done
one hundred years ago tonight
and my back is breaking
and my legs are aching
I'm a long way from home
I'm all alone
but you're eyes are here

If I lost myself
the way I fear I could
the way you said I would
if the prophecy was right
then give yourself a reward now
you know that i walk
one foot after the other
my words just won't come
I walk alone
and the sun keeps shining
and I keep on falling
into an unknown place
and your eyes are here

So go on, go fast
we don't have much time left
the big chill will hit you when you least expect it
nobody talks about you like that, huh?
walk under water and breath 'til you don't bleed
the world is a sad place but you're riding on it
so please no excuses
no give me no bullshit
I want you to know that no matter where you go
no matter where you go
i want you to know that my eyes are there

Big chill

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"

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” 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.
