In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You know I told you once tonight
That you could always speak your mind
You work so hard to say what's right
I watch you do it all the time
And when I called you on the phone
You said that I could be the one
But here I'm standing all alone
And you're out lying in the sun
Tell me, am I getting in too deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately I am so confused
I really don't know what to do
Could you be the one I'm thinking of
Could you be the girl I really love
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
You know I told you once tonight
That you could always speak your mind
You work so hard to say what's right
I watch you do it all the time
And when I called you on the phone
You said that I could be the one
But here I'm standing all alone
And you're out lying in the sun
Tell me, am I getting in too deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately we're just holding on
To something that will soon be gone
Could you be the one I'm thinking of
Could you be the girl I really love
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
Do you think I'm blind to what you do
Do you think I really care for you
Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play
Do you think we both should let it show
Do you think we both should let it go
Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play
Tell me, am I getting in too deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately I am so confused
I really don't know what to do
Could you be the one I'm thinking of
Could you be the girl I really love
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
That you could always speak your mind
You work so hard to say what's right
I watch you do it all the time
And when I called you on the phone
You said that I could be the one
But here I'm standing all alone
And you're out lying in the sun
Tell me, am I getting in too deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately I am so confused
I really don't know what to do
Could you be the one I'm thinking of
Could you be the girl I really love
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
You know I told you once tonight
That you could always speak your mind
You work so hard to say what's right
I watch you do it all the time
And when I called you on the phone
You said that I could be the one
But here I'm standing all alone
And you're out lying in the sun
Tell me, am I getting in too deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately we're just holding on
To something that will soon be gone
Could you be the one I'm thinking of
Could you be the girl I really love
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
Do you think I'm blind to what you do
Do you think I really care for you
Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play
Do you think we both should let it show
Do you think we both should let it go
Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play
Tell me, am I getting in too deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately I am so confused
I really don't know what to do
Could you be the one I'm thinking of
Could you be the girl I really love
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know

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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think it's about a guy being into a girl who says she's into him, and they'd be perfect together, but she's totally jerking him around. "Do you think I'm blind to what you do? Do you think I really care for you? Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play?" I think this line is him trying to be tough and pretend it's not really affecting him, but if it's just a game, then he'll play along, but if she's just that mean, he's serious. He's just trying to protect himself.
"Do you think we both should let it show? Do you think we both should let it go? Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play?" I think this line is him giving her an "out" if she wants it.
I love this song. It's one of my favorites of ALL time.
