I know that we're in trouble here
And that people had their doubts
They say that everyone, everywhere deserves someone dear
But I just have no faith in that
So I will bandage your wounds
I'll cover your hurt
Take back what I said
Things you did not deserve
But now three days later
And I've still had no word
No message or warning
Of things you have learned

Days turn to weeks
And I forget your face
I'm sorry my love
I lie here disgraced
So I'll do this for you
I need you to feel it
It will hurt but it will heal
So I hope you believe it
Don't say goodbye
There's just no good to it
This space in my chest
Desperate to fill it
And the feeling of sinking goes on
It goes on
Until I reach your shore

There is nowhere I'd rather belong

As we sat there on the bench at night
We talked about our lives under street light
You sat there you smiled
No we'll never, we'll never grow old
But the past is the past and I learned from the last
Time that we were close I'm now on my own
And you'll sit there, you'll smile

And think about the time that I called you mine
You were mine

Well it seems there is nothing I can do
No there is nothing I can do
Reaching out to touch it

So desperate just to clutch it
My knuckles turn to white
And my blood begins to drip to the floor

So where is your compassion dear?
Do you have to hide it away?
Is there something you have trapped deep inside?
Like a bird in a cage
Desperate for you to set free
Now I'm starting to wonder here
Darling, if your heart is so small
(There's no relief)
That if we kept on going in circles
It would shrink and it would fade
Until there was nothing
No heart at all

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"

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.

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.
