just like a lesson in forever
I hope that we can stay together till the end
you know your style is just whatever
and conversations about the weathervane of friends

I'll share my dinner mints with you
the future's imminently blue
the sky will fall on our heads soon

we can grow up old together
walking hand in hand wherever we will go
because we're weird without each other
the things we do when we are odd and on our own

I'll share my dinner mints with you
the future's imminently blue
the sky will fall on our heads soon

I'm talked out
I'm talked out -- you're so mean
I'm talked out -- and you smoke crack
I'm talked out -- how do I feel?
I'm talked out -- not that great

I felt so awkward in your room
the glow-in-the-dark stars and moon
I'll share my dinner mints with you
the future's imminently blue
the sun will be coming up soon

    I think it might be about a couple being in a good relationship and just had a small fight and don't want to deal with it anymore (I'm talked out). But they'll get over it (the sun will be coming up soon). I can totally relate to this song. I have glow in the dark stars and my room :)

    I like the lyrics to this song.. I like Aqueducts lyrics but I think the music is annoying.

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"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
