Did you think you were made for all the things
That felt like a waste
Or has everything led you to be
What you have never foreseen

Everything I see reminds me
Of just how beautiful you can be
I'm waiting for a feeling
That would make love open my eyes
Remind me I'm alive

This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside
Changed me from the inside
It has magnified all my cries
For something more than fine

Now we see that everything we have
And everything we lack
Is exactly what we need
Every single day
Everything we've made
Has put us in this place in just this way

    This song is amazing....

    In a way, its about a girl. it can also be about a boy. I'll get to that in a second.

    Pretty much what is ultimately about is God's plan for your life and your future spouse.

    Did you think you were made for all the things That felt like a waste

    • Are you made for things that feel like they are wasting your time? NO, of course not.

    Or has everything led you to be What you have never foreseen

    • everything you've been through has shaped you just how God wanted you to be shaped.

    Everything I see reminds me Of just how beautiful you can be

    • This is the part about who you love. When you truly love someone, beauty comes alive in sooo many ways. Everything about her/him becomes amazing and awe inspiring to you.

    I'm waiting for a feeling That would make love open my eyes Remind me I'm alive

    • Love opens your eyes, and reminds you that you are alive.

    This Seattle life, it has changed me from the inside Changed me from the inside It has magnified my cries For something more than fine

    • longing to be alive. wanting something more than fine.

    Now we see that everything we have And everything we lack Is exactly what we need

    • Everything you have and don't have is exactly what you need to live the life God wants for you. He makes no mistakes.

    Every single day Everything we've made Has put us in this place in just this way

    • you are here because of your actions and everything you lack/have.

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"

Magical
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
