Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a NEW DISGUISE, give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a STRAIGHTER LINE. You could be everything i wanted if you just give up on holding back and i never lost so many words from kissing just one girl cuz you've got potential.

Wait for it, wait for nights that compliments you and know that girl i just recent you its easier to pretend you dont care at all, Now wait for it, wait for boys that overwhelmed you and tell them that your not that type of girl and you would rather sit and talk about you goals.

So give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a NEW DISGUISE, give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a STRAIGHTER LINE. You could be everything i wanted if you just give up on holding back and i never lost so many words from kissing just one girl cuz you've got potential.

Wait for it, wait for nights that decimate you wake up nad that pray for savior hope has never seems so far away from you. And now wait for it, wait for years to pass you by your looking back and all these times you wished you had it compremised at all....... Well I tried. Well i tried to make you see that you lost reality somewhere..... I tried.

Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a NEW DISGUISE, give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a STRAIGHTER LINE. You could be everything i wanted if you just give up on holding back and i never lost so many words from kissing just one girl cuz you've got potential.

    Genius! This song is amazing. "you could be everything I wanted if you just give up on holding back" that is the best line I think I've ever heard.

    this song is Great, just like all of David Melillo's songs. I think it's about waiting (obvioulsy) for the right time and making the right decisions to do certain things beacuse if you go ahead with something you could regret it later? idk but these lyrics are wrong. the song goes:

    Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a new disguise. Give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a straighter line. You could be everything I wanted if you just gave up on holding back and I never lost so many words from kissing just one girl, you've got potential.

    Wait for it, wait for nights that compliment you, ignore the girls that just resent you. It's easier to pretend you dont care at all. Now wait for it, wait for boys that overwhelm you and tell them that your not that type of girl and you would rather sit and talk about your goals.

    You give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a new disguise. Give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a straighter line. You could be everything I wanted if you just gave up on holding back 'cause I never lost so many words from kissing just one girl, you've got potential.

    Wait for it, wait for the nights that decimate you, wake up and then pray for savior. Hope has never seemed so far away from you. Now wait for it, wait for the years to pass you by your looking back at all the times you wished you hadn't compromised at all.Well I tried, well I tried, well I tried to make you see that you lost reality somewhere, I tried.

    Give me your black lungs and your blue eyes and we'll trade them in for a new disguise. Give me your best bet and worst lie and we'll fill them in with a straighter line. You could be everything I wanted if you just gave up on holding back and I never lost so many words from kissing just one girl, you've got potential.

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"

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
