She walks in through the screen door, wearin' a cotton dress
That gets my imagination up and runnin'
Slips it off to reveal a suntan that she got in Barbados
With her friends while they were summer sunnin'

I think, I'll acquire
A previous commitment
Hold all my calls
Everyone can wait a minute

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce and Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

She's the kind of girl your mama warned you about
When you see her walkin' by, you stop for green lights
She's cool, air conditioned all the time
No need to chill her wine, she's that fine, that's right

No Prada or Gucci clothes
No, that don't get it
She don't need a mink coat
So just forget it

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce & Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce and Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce and Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

Yeah, that girl is so fine
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'
Yeah, nothin' but a suntan
Oh yeah, nothin' but a suntan

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"

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.

Blue
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.

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.
