I'm evasive I'm cool and I'm nobody's fool
And I'm layin' it on the line
You looked a mess
Cause my little black dress
Stopped you on a dime
Don't even try it your ticket has expired
And I'm just too tired to dance
Even if you want me
You're not gonna get me
Cause baby you had your chance

[Chorus]
Don't you want me now
Now that I'm trying not to try so hard
Don't you want me now
Don't you wonder how
You could've pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Don't you want me now

It's not really me it's somebody else
But I'm lovin' her just the same
The look on your face
When I walked in this place
Will remain forever on my brain
Cause the joke's on you
And it's long overdue
Tell me can you take the heat
Wanting to hassle the king in his castle
Revenge never tasted so sweet

[Chorus]

Who cares who wins 'cause just the same
I'm not into baby games
Yet you once swept me off my feet
Now look who's in the driver's seat

[Chorus]

Now, now that I'm trying not to try so hard
Don't you want me now
Don't you wonder how
You could've pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Don't you want me now

Don't you want me now
Don't you want me now
Don't you want me baby
Don't you want me now
Don't you
Don't you want me now
Oh, yeah

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
