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"
I like the way you sound in the morning,
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus,
I watch you talk you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is we should be together
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
Cuz I'ma stay through it all so jump then fall
Well I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me I love each freckle on your face, oh,
I've never been so wrapped up,
Honey, I like the way you're everything I've ever wanted
I had time to think it all over and all I can say is come closer,
Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
I'ma stay through it all so jump then fall
The bottoms gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
When people say things that bring you to your knees,
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa oh I need you baby
Don't be afraid please
Jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
I'ma stay through it all so jump then fall
Jump then fall baby
Jump then fall into me, into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine
And every time you're here baby, I'll show you, I'll show you
You can jump then fall, jump then fall, jump then fall
Into me, into me yeah
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus,
I watch you talk you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is we should be together
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
Cuz I'ma stay through it all so jump then fall
Well I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me I love each freckle on your face, oh,
I've never been so wrapped up,
Honey, I like the way you're everything I've ever wanted
I had time to think it all over and all I can say is come closer,
Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
I'ma stay through it all so jump then fall
The bottoms gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
When people say things that bring you to your knees,
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa oh I need you baby
Don't be afraid please
Jump then fall, jump then fall into me
Baby, I'm never gonna leave you,
Say that you wanna be with me too
I'ma stay through it all so jump then fall
Jump then fall baby
Jump then fall into me, into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine
And every time you're here baby, I'll show you, I'll show you
You can jump then fall, jump then fall, jump then fall
Into me, into me yeah

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I'm sure the meaning is pretty self explanitory, its a love song. But I just have to say, I FRIGGEN LOVE this song. I'm addicted to it. I've been listening to it non-stop, whether it be through the speakers, or in my head!
The thing that makes me sad, is that it is going to be a single, which means they will over play it, and ruin this song. :(.
I agree, this song is great and it sucks for the rest of us who is listening to it before it becomes a huge hit because EVERYONE will play it over and over again. But they did that with all her songs before, like I listened to all her un realeased stuff before it came out on the fearless delux album and now songs like come in with the rain, are going to be played like crazy. but they overplayed, love story, you belong with me, white horse, your not sorry, etc. i'm still not tired of it! ad i still listen to all her songs practically religiously. lol
I think my favorite part of the song is:
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet I'll catch you, I'll catch you When people say things that bring you to your knees, I'll catch you. The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry but I'll hold you through the night until you smile
just because when you read it, it seems like such a guy thing to sing. Like most people can't picture a girl holding a guy while he cried but I love the image. It's really letting the guy know that she loves him. So much that he can let himself go with her and that she could be his female knight in shining armor.
"This song is about taking a chance and falling desperately into a summer love"- Taylor Swift

Once again Taylor impresses..love you Tay..x
This is a song of happiness and bliss and passion, putting everything into the relationship. It's an adorable song, and her voice with it is amazing. A closed off guy, not necesarily all ready to be full out the relationship, but she wants everything. The crazy, passionate, hate, love, screaming type of love. So cute, I absoloutely love the beginning. When she sang it live on Dancing With the Stars you could just tell how happy and proud she was of the song, and what a perfect song it is. I cannot decide which is my favorite new one, but this may be it :)
Love this song.
It's about a girl who wants to be with a boy, and she's trying to let him know that he doesn't need to be cautious about starting a relationship; she's there for him.
