I felt you in my legs
Before I ever met you
And when I lay beside you
For the first time, I told you

I feel you in my heart
And I don't even know you
And now we're saying bye, bye, bye
And now we're saying bye, bye, bye

I was nineteen
Call me

I felt you in my life
Before I ever thought to
I need to lay down
Beside you and tell you

I feel you in my heart
And I don't even know you
And now we're saying bye, bye, bye
And now were saying bye, bye, bye

I was nineteen
Call me
I was nineteen
Call me

Flew home, back to where we met
Stayed inside, I was so upset
Cooked up a plan so good except
I was all alone, you were all I had
Love you
You were all mine
Love me
I was yours, right?
I was yours, right?

I was nineteen
Call me (bye, bye)
I was nineteen
Call me (bye, bye)

    This song is AMAZING!! Best one of The Con, me thinks.. Loving it.. :) I think you've all explained it very well, and I agree with the theory that it's probably about a fling of some sorts.. ;D

    But seriously... blu_girl_4eva, wannabesluts, Kimik_Oh.. It's not about a boy!! Grrrrrrrr!!! :( Seen as Tegan is gay. They're both gay, so yeah.. It's obviously about a GIRL!!!

    Sorry, just had to say that.. Seen as it REALLY annoyed me.. We lezzies need some songs to relate to as well, don't try to put boys in there.. Ha ha!! ;-D Smiles

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

When We Were Young

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
