She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
She should've known from the start
(I told ya)

I'm better than the beach
Beneath her feet
When she thinks of sweet
She thinks of me
I'm better than the street
Beneath her car
Learned everything in the backseat
Ain't it funny how things are?

She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
Overthrwo the status quo
Never listen to the lingo
She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
Fell in love with a keptomaniac
Stole my heart and she never gave it back

(The twist goes like this)
Like a harbor starves for a ship
I await the arrival of her lips
She's starboard side
She's well equipped
I'm in the ocean
Causin' commotion

She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
Overthrow the status quo
Never listen to the lingo
She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
Fell in love with a keptomaniac
Stole my heart and she never gave it back

I fell in love with a keptomaniac
Stole my heart and she never gave it back
I fell in love with a keptomaniac
Stole my heart and she never gave it back
(What you think about that, what you think about that,
what you think abou that?)
I fell in love with a keptomaniac
Stole my heart and she never gave it back
(What you think about that, what you think about that?)

I want to thank her
For being my anchor
No matter the weather
She'll be my tether

She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
Fell in love with a keptomaniac
Stole my heart and she never gave it
She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
Fell in love with a keptomaniac
Stole my heart and she never gave it
She should've known from the start
Her heart was my favorite part
I fell in love, I fell in love
She should've known from the start

    Girl stole smitten boys heart and ran away with it, he adores her heart hardcore.(: But she thinks he's pretty swell too, better than the beach, the street and the epitome sweet, ahaha. She keeps him grounded in this world.

    I was impressed initially when I heard this song. The storyline in the song is so cute, "She should've known from the start her heart was my favorite part". Leave it to Shaant to write a lyrical love letter that commends both lovers..

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
