Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married
Just you wait and see.

She called me up, late last night, she said joe, don't come over
My dad and I just had a fight, and he stormed out the door.
I've never seen him act his this way, my god, he's going crazy
He says he's gonna make you pay, for what we've done, he's got a gun, so.

Run Joey run Joey run
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married
Just you wait and see.

I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face
All at once, I saw him there, sneaking up behind me, watch out!
Then Julie yelled, he's got a gun, and she stepped in front of me
Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I saw Julie falling
I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down, my hands were red,
And here's the last words Julie said

Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run

    do you think it's about a dude who knocks a girl up and then the father finds out and goes apeshit?

    it's okay cause their going to get married and the baby won't be born in wedlock

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"

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.
