Drank it all to the last taste
Woke up with a fresh face
Another date in the U.K.
Now everybody surrounds us
We're living high on a tour bus
It's not that bad, the best we've had

I ate Italian in Germany
I spent my money on magazines
That talked to me and my friends
But the phone wouldn't reach her
I burned it down to the filter
Another day to wait
She'll see my face

Are you gonna tell me soon
What the hell I'm supposed to do
To make it feel all right

I've got more to say than you
But I'm not sure what that proves
Stamping out the same old flame
It's not my fault, I'm not to blame
Dancing round the same old flame
Ah-hah
Ah-hah

Had some trouble when I was south
You had to come down and bail me out
And that's the damage between us
When the storm blew me out of town
And when my feet finally hit the ground
I was miles away with no one around

Are you gonna tell me soon
What the hell I'm supposed to do
To make it feel all right

I've got more to say than you
But I'm not sure what that proves
Stamping out the same old flame
It's not my fault, I'm not to blame
Dancing round the same old flame
Ah-hah
Ah-hah
Ah-hah
Ah-hah-ah

It's a major cause of damage between us
It's a major cause of
Damage between us
(Damage between us)
Damage between us
Damage between us

Damage between us

Cigarettes that burn too fast
But the same old flame just lasts
I've got more to say to you
But I'm afraid to follow through
Are you gonna tell me soon
What the hell I'm supposed to do
To make it feel all right

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."

Amazing
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.
