You come to me with
Scars on your wrist.
You tell me this will be the last night
Feeling like this.

I just came to say good bye
Didn't want you to see me cry
I'm fine

But I know it's a lie

This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be

The last night
You'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms
And I won't let go
I'm everything
You need me to be

Your parents say
Everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all

I'm so sick of when they say
"Its just a phase you'll be ok
You're fine"

But I know it's a lie

This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be

(The last night
Away from me)

The night is so long when
Everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on

Tonight
Tonight

This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be

I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night
Away from me
Away from me

    My Interpretation

    i like to dumb things down so yeah... its just easier for me and probaly for most people to XP this is obviousaly a reltionship kind of song maybe in the emo romance genre i dont know but this is my opinon/interperation and instead of saying he/she or him/her im just going to say he/him because i mean the lead singer is a male so it would make sense..so here i go XD

    you come to me with scars on your wrist (literal) you tell me this will be the last night feeling like this( what they mean by feeling like this i guess suicidal or lonely...maybe they want attention) i just came to say goodbye didnt want you to see me cry im fine (maybe she [yes a girl is singing now] is going to commit suicide or is leaving her loved one and she didnt want him to worry about her) but i know its a lie (literal)

    this is the last night youll spend alone(literal) look me in the eyes so i know you that im everywhere you want me to be(literal) the last night youll spend alone(literal) ill wrap you in my arms and i wont let go(literal) im everything you want me to be(hell change for her)

    your parents say everything is your fault but they dont know you like i know you they dont know you at all (her parents are mad at her for everything she might be bad or something and she tells more things to her boyfriend or freind than she tells her parents so her parents dont know the real her) im so sick of when they say "its just a phase youll be okay your fine" (literal) but i know its a lie (literal)

    (see top for the chorus)

    the night is so long when everythings wrong (it feels like the night is dragging on and its longer than it normally feels like because i guess theyre both talking about each others problems which is affecting theyre realtionship) if you give me your hand i will help you hold on(metaphor) tonight X2 (tonight is the last night and so on so forth with the chorus)

    i wont let you say goodbye and ill be your reason why (what they mean by say goodbye mabe by suicidal or by breaking up with him and hell be her reason why) the last night away from me away from me (literal)

    we all have our opinons/interperation so dont hate

    <NINJA WOLF>

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”

Magical

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
