I never said I was a one time woman
I never wrote it, I never said it
I should have known you'd leave me out here hanging on
I should have seen it, I didn't get it

Oh, oh, oh, I don't believe it
Oh, oh, oh, you never mean it

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to call back yesterday
It's too late, it's too late, I'm just another runaway
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to call back yesterday
It's too late, it's too late, I'm just a, another runaway
Another runaway, another runaway, another runaway

You always said I was your part time woman
I don't believe it, I didn't see it
You always acting like a part time wanna be
I shoulda seen it, I didn't get it

Oh, oh, oh, I don't believe it
Oh, oh, oh, you never mean it

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to call back yesterday
It's too late, it's too late, I'm just another runaway
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to call back yesterday
It's too late, it's too late, I'm just a, another runaway
Another runaway, another runaway, another runaway
Another runaway, another runaway

Oh, oh, oh, I don't believe it
Oh, oh, oh, you never mean it

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to call back yesterday
It's too late, it's too late I'm just another runaway
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to call back yesterday
It's too late, it's too late I'm just a, another runaway
Another runaway, another runaway, another runaway

    My Interpretation

    This first 3 lines lead me to believe that she's cheated on someone. "I never said i was a one time woman I never wrote it I never said it"

    But after that it seems that, that someone has left her hanging. Not the other way around. "I should have known youd leave me out here hanging on I should have seen it I didnt get it"

    And it seems that she keeps on running for these relationship's. I think you could view it either way.

    But it's one of my fav song's off the album.

    this song is about a guy who kept her hanging. hence the lyrics. it's just sad cause she really liked him, but he was just too shady. so he misses out, "ooooooh she's a runaway."

    she's saying that it's too late to undo what he's done. and she's over it and moving on cause she deserves better than to be treated that way.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
