You must have noticed by now
How I give you crazy reasons
To keep hangin’ round
You should have figured it out
When I’m standing so close to you
I must leave no doubt

If I want something
I don’t hesitate
When a good thing calls to me
Why wait?

CHORUS
If you’re tryin’ to stop me falling in love with you
It’s too late
It’s too late
If you’re takin’ it slow, but your heart wants me so
Why wait?
If it’s fate
Why wait?

I try to read all the signs
Are you seeking my company
Am I on your mind
You always greet me so tender
As if something more you’d like to say
Lies between the lines

Don’t be uncertain
That I feel this way
When a sure thing calls to you
Why wait?

CHORUS
If you’re tryin’ to stop me falling in love with you
It’s too late
It’s too late
If you’re takin’ it slow, but your heart wants me so
Why wait?
If it’s fate
Why wait?

Can you surrender
And trust in me?
Can you believe in destiny?

If you want something
Don’t hestitate
I’m a good thing here for you so
Why wait?

CHORUS
If you’re tryin’ to stop me falling in love with you
It’s too late
It’s too late
If you’re takin’ it slow, but your heart wants me so
Why wait?
If it’s fate
Why wait?

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
