Tell me all the dreams
that you have let slip
right through your hands
Do you feel lost inside
of someone else's life?

And we're not gonna live forever
Can you tell me if it's now or never?
I'm not gonna make up your mind
I don't wanna live without you
And I don't wanna live a lie
We'll never know 'til we try
Yeah, we'll never know 'til we try

Failure is the only way to learn
'til you've come undone
The rest will never find out
what they might have been

And we're not gonna live forever
Can you tell me if it's now or never?
I'm not gonna make up your mind
I don't wanna live without you
And I don't wanna live a lie
We'll never know 'til we try
Yeah, we'll never know 'til we try

So tell me some time,
just where did we go wrong?

And we're not gonna live forever
Can you tell me, is it now or never?
I'm not gonna make up your mind
I don't wanna live without you
And I don't wanna live a lie
We'll never know 'til we try
Yeah, we'll never know 'til we try

    i think its about a couple who have tried to be together but it just hasnt worked out, and later on they realize that they both still love eachother, but they still arent sure if it'll work!

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.
