He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Everywhere I look, I see her smile
Her absent-minded eyes
And she has kept me wonderin' for so long
How this thing could go wrong
It seems to me that we are both the same
Playin' the same game
But as darkness falls, this true love falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart
She's so vulnerable like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable and I don't understand
I could never hurt the one I love, she's all I got
But she's so vulnerable, oh, so vulnerable
Days like these no one should be alone
No heart should hide away
Her touch is gently conquering my mind
There's nothin' words can say
She's colored all the secrets of my soul
I've whispered all my dreams
But just as night time falls this vision falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart, yeah
She's so vulnerable (she's so vulnerable) like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable (oh, so vulnerable) and I don't understand
I could never hurt someone I love, she's all I got
But she's so vulnerable, oh, so vulnerable, yeah
Don't hide your eyes
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
She's so vulnerable (she's so vulnerable) like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable (oh, so vulnerable) and I don't understand
I could never hurt the one I love, she's all I got
But she's so vulnerable (she's so vulnerable) like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable (oh, so vulnerable) and I don't understand
I could never hurt someone I love, she's all I got
But she's so vulnerable, oh, so vulnerable
She's so vulnerable
My baby, she's vulnerable
She's so vulnerable, oh yeah
Oh, so vulnerable
(She's all I got)
She's so vulnerable (mmm mmm mmm)
She's so vulnerable
Oh, so vulnerable
Her absent-minded eyes
And she has kept me wonderin' for so long
How this thing could go wrong
It seems to me that we are both the same
Playin' the same game
But as darkness falls, this true love falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart
She's so vulnerable like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable and I don't understand
I could never hurt the one I love, she's all I got
But she's so vulnerable, oh, so vulnerable
Days like these no one should be alone
No heart should hide away
Her touch is gently conquering my mind
There's nothin' words can say
She's colored all the secrets of my soul
I've whispered all my dreams
But just as night time falls this vision falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart, yeah
She's so vulnerable (she's so vulnerable) like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable (oh, so vulnerable) and I don't understand
I could never hurt someone I love, she's all I got
But she's so vulnerable, oh, so vulnerable, yeah
Don't hide your eyes
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
She's so vulnerable (she's so vulnerable) like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable (oh, so vulnerable) and I don't understand

But she's so vulnerable (she's so vulnerable) like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable (oh, so vulnerable) and I don't understand
I could never hurt someone I love, she's all I got
But she's so vulnerable, oh, so vulnerable
She's so vulnerable
My baby, she's vulnerable
She's so vulnerable, oh yeah
Oh, so vulnerable
(She's all I got)
She's so vulnerable (mmm mmm mmm)
She's so vulnerable
Oh, so vulnerable

Light Up The Sky

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"
