Maybe I'm blind, maybe I'm blind
Oh, I couldn't see you shine
And shimmer right in front of my eyes
Front of my eyes, oh no

I never saw light, never saw light
All I saw were faded mirrors
And dim reflections but
You shine, you shine so much brighter, oh

So honey let me sing you a song
And listen to my words
As they come out wrong, but don't
Run away, run away, this time

And honey let me look in your eyes
You can open them one at a time, but don't
Look away, look away, this time

Open your mind, open your mind
To know that you don't have to hide
So please don't leave me
Don't meet me outside
Leave me outside, oh no

Oh, and honey I'll try, honey I'll try to hold you
Like the starry skies, we lie beneath tonight
'Cause you shine, you shine so much brighter
Oh, oh, oh, oh

So honey let me sing you a song
And listen to my words
As they come out wrong, but don't
Run away, run away, this time

And honey let me look in your eyes
You can open them one at a time, but don't
Look away, look away, this time

Oh, I'm walking on a wire, 'cause you're all I want now
So don't feed me to the fire, and I won't let you down
And please don't hide, these things we say tonight
Can help us get our feet back on the ground

So honey let me sing you a song
And listen to my words
As they come out wrong, but don't
Run away, run away, this time

And honey let me look in your eyes
You can open them one at a time, but don't
Look away, no, look away
No, look away, don't look away, oh

And honey let me sing you a song
And listen to my words
As they, come out wrong, but don't
Run away, run away this time

And honey let me look in your eyes
Oh, they burn like fire, but don't
Look away, look away, this time
And don't, look away, look away this time

Don't look away, look away, this time.

    The meaning suggested about cheating, why would that be the only interpretation? Has the writer expressed it in an interview? It could also mean that they left a relationship they thought was "the one" that didn't end up being that way and now with this person it is working in a way that others never did. Also, even though it's recorded with a guy singing it, there is no gender to the lyrics so it can go either way. It's an amazing song regardless of what the original meaning was.

    I'd never heard of this song until this morning when my computer spontaneously started playing it when there were no audio programs running and no web pages with it. There were no files that had any portion of it in it on my computer. The really ironic/spooky part is since last night I'd been struggling with an issue that this song fits perfectly.

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"

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
