"Won't you miss me?" you said inside grand central station
And your eyes grew red and wild before the chasin'
I felt your body move through my coat
I felt you footstep silent but
Heavy, you followed me onto the shuttle
Tapped my shoulder one last time and that was all, that was all
Hmmmm

I miss winter just because I miss when I knew you best
I miss the typewriter in the basement, I miss making your room a mess
I miss not being misused
I miss it all, so I guess I lose
Sea green, see blue
Hmmmm

September 2nd to April 13th, but who's counting?
Song after song after song after song amounting into mountains
He told me you beat her up
Behold the "Super Keith" on the cup
What's up, enough's enough, and where's my morning coffee?
I regret every single thing I ever said, I said those things too softly
Hmmmm

There was you, there was me in the room with the alcoholic guest
You asked if we should sleep on these cardboard sheets I said "Yes, okay, let's"
And the sculptor we hardly knew
His limbs were lying askew
Sea green, see blue
Hmmmm

You tossed your phone fifty feet in the air, I can't believe you caught it
You said whatever you wanted to as long as you thought it should be true
And you dream, you make movies, you dance
You moved to Montreal, to be closer to France
How's that working out, how's the music, how's the food?
I know you won't stay there forever, I know you're gonna move again and again and again
Hmmmm

This is crazy, but I know I left you to be with your art
You always put me first, and somehow that broke my heart
'Cause it's not my place to choose
My first love, and my only muse
Sea green, see blue
Hmmmm

    No comments? I thought there'd be at least a few after the season final of the second season of How I Met Your Mother. Anyway, awesome song. So mellow.

    this song is sort of heartbreaking. it has so much nostalgia. He left her, she talks about all the things she misses. September 2 to April 13, probably how long she has gone on without him, but she says "but who's counting" to make it seem as if she does not care that much. She regrets not saying what she should have when she had the chance. I love the last stanza about how she left him to be with his art, it shows conflicting feelings, the confusion of love and relationships.

    I saw How I met your mother Season 2 final episode with this song at the end of the last scenes. I think amazing choice, very touching song and like the others already announced before me - heartbreaking....however - I know what she's singing about, but that's how life goes.

    i've always been curious about the title.

    this whole album reminds me of a boy in my art class who i have had a mutual crush with for a long time, but things never seem to work out. being to scared or with another boy. but i think it reaches a lot of people

    She definitely sings about someone she longs for although, i think the "sept 2 -april 13" was the time they went out, it is winter.

    "You tossed your phone fifty feet in the air I can't believe you caught it"

    Jaymay said in an interview that her brother Dave wrote this song and she stole it and changed the pronouns around. So I don't think it has a lot of personal meaning for her at all. But it doesnt change the fact that it's amazing and she sings it unlike anyone else could.

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.

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.
Album art
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.
