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.
Will your first time
Will it be
I think of someone like me?
Makes me wonder
I can show you things
You'd never thought you'd see
You're like sunshine
I can feel your heat is drying out my brain
Would you feel like
Like we're having fun if I can do the rain?
Have you thought of your dreams
Do you have some?
Let's see if we can find some more
Give me your fancies at random
I think we can deal with 'em all
I can't wait forever
Baby open me your door
I just want your loving
If you cannot give me more
I can see you standing there
You know you're worth the try
Let me guide you in my spaceship
And I'll surely make you
Have a real good time
Don't waste time now
You are soakin' wet so fix
The things you got
Guess you know how
And when you're done
I gotta see you strut
My desire
Can I watch you rock and
Know which one to choose?
I'm no liar
I could take you down
And you got nothing to lose
I don't know any better occasion
Can't hold back, it's the end of the day
I don't think you're here for the first time
No problem with me anyway
I can't wait forever
Baby open me your door
I just want your loving
If you cannot give me more
I can see you standing there
I know we have a try
I can feel this night is special
And I surely make
You have a real good time
I can't leave you standing there
You know we have a try
I can feel this night is special
And I'll surely make
you have a real good time
Will it be
I think of someone like me?
Makes me wonder
I can show you things
You'd never thought you'd see
You're like sunshine
I can feel your heat is drying out my brain
Would you feel like
Like we're having fun if I can do the rain?
Have you thought of your dreams
Do you have some?
Let's see if we can find some more
Give me your fancies at random
I think we can deal with 'em all
I can't wait forever
Baby open me your door
I just want your loving
If you cannot give me more
I can see you standing there
You know you're worth the try
Let me guide you in my spaceship
And I'll surely make you
Have a real good time
Don't waste time now
You are soakin' wet so fix
The things you got
Guess you know how
And when you're done
I gotta see you strut
My desire
Can I watch you rock and
Know which one to choose?
I'm no liar
I could take you down
And you got nothing to lose
I don't know any better occasion
Can't hold back, it's the end of the day
I don't think you're here for the first time
No problem with me anyway
I can't wait forever
Baby open me your door
I just want your loving
If you cannot give me more
I can see you standing there
I know we have a try
I can feel this night is special
And I surely make
You have a real good time
I can't leave you standing there
You know we have a try
I can feel this night is special
And I'll surely make
you have a real good time

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Pretty obvious, if I do say so myself.
