Hello (hello)
Hello (hello, hello)
Hello? (hello?)

Is there anybody up here?
(Hello?) Welcome
Two-thousand-eighty-five, twenty-eighty-five, that is
(Just me up here, I guess)
(Oh, oh)
The magic of the moment snuck up on me
And caught me by surprise (ooh, ooh, ooh)
One minute I'm lonely, yeah, I'm only
There's something in your eye (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I know it's not just the song
(And I know it's not just the song)
And I know it's not just the drink
(And I know it's not the drink)
But whatever it might be (Whatever it might be)
Just keep holding on to me
(Ooh) 'cause I'll pull down a cloud for you
I'll circle the stars and bring you one back
I'll walk through the sun for you
'Cause there's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon
There's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon
Uh, uh, and I know that it's true, baby
You got me walkin' on the moon

Girl don't keep me waiting, I'm impatient
Hit my runway, and lets take off and fly
Now I'm where I wanna be, come co-pilot with me
Let's burn up the sky (oh)

And I know it's not just the song
(And I know it's not just the song)
And I know it's not just the drink
(I know it's not the drink)
But whatever it might be (Whatever it might be)
Just keep holding on to me (oh)
'Cause I'll pull down a cloud for you
(Pull a cloud for you)
I'll circle the stars and bring you one back
(Whatever you want, you know that you'll get it, baby)
I'll walk through the sun for you (ooh)
'Cause there's something you do (there's something)
(There's something you do)
That got me walkin' on the moon (uh)
There's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon (ooh)(uh, uh)
And I know that it's true
Baby, you got me walkin' on the moon

Everyone out there will know that you are my girl
And my love will (Hey, hey, Dream, I'm too good at this)
Grow in circles around the world (Hey, what I do? Hey)
Uh, uh, uh, I cant contain it
No, no, no I cant restrain it
It's a lot of stars in here ain't it
But you shine so much they don't seem famous
Where'd you come from on this lonely night?
I swear god must of made lightning strike
And I bottled it up, we hit the red carpet and modeled it up
We hopped in the 'Rari and Prada'd it up
Now everybody clapping, they bravo'd it up
All just because its more than a buzz
More than a drink, but I took a few sips
And let it do what it does, now drunk texting
Like it's all about you, like I cant spend
Another minute without you
You know that drink let you say things
You ain't allowed to, things that you fear
But you're way to proud to say out loud
'Cause niggas gonna clown you, put your Blackberry down
People is around you, I'll put my Mac-berry down
I ain't trying to hound you, just trying to take you
Where the stars gonna surround you
And umm, maybe ice down you,
And umm, maybe wipe down you
And umm, maybe we should talk about all this
After I pound you
You know I'm just playing with you
I know a lot of people mad, 'cause they ain't with you
Wait, is it because we on the moon?
Tell 'em save the hate (Uh, got me walkin')
We'll be home soon (on the moon)

Uh, there's something you do
That got me walkin' on the moon, uh, uh
And I know that its true
Baby, you got me walkin' on the moon
Everyone out there will know that you are my girl

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.
