Eyes open as the light streams through the curtain
only half closed
and the kink in my neck
and sleeping in my clothes again
reminds me that I'm not home
gotta go because we're leaving on a fifteen hour drive
but I'll call you sometime soon
to let you know that I'm alright

*Do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me to see
the things that words cannot describe
sincerely me so long goodbye*

It's three am and we're driving through the desert
and the moon's bright
so bright in fact that I can almost write you
without turning on the map light
but I gotta let you go now because it's my turn to drive
but I'll have so much to tell you at home when we arrive

*Do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me to see
the things that words cannot describe
sincerely me so long goodbye
So long goodbye*

Gotta go because we're leaving on a fifteen hour drive
but I'll call you sometime soon
to let you know that I'm alright
Do you know what the world can bring
wish you were here with me to see
the things that words cannot describe
sincerely me so long goodbye.

    The new version of this song on their LP 'Moments From Mourning' is a lot better than the unreleased version they have on their mp3.com site. I'm suprised this song didn't get more comments.. it's one of the Unsung Zeros' best song

    I think this music sounds pretty good and it's from thier newest album "MOments From Mourning". I downloaded it from KaZaA. Also it's one of my Usung Zeros songs.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
