My head is wrong
My thoughts are gone
But I hope to find that personality
That makes me feel happiness
Against the grain
Realize your pain
But I hope to find some temporality
Brace yourself for this next in juncture
You'll be living your life your own way
Just graduate gradually

Why did you finally realize that in my mind
You're a catastrophic complication?
Why did you finally figure out that it's not only
Just a new love situation?

My heart is gone
My thought was wrong
But I hope to find that imperfection
That makes me feel whole again
Against your car, I'll press you now
With the hope to find some sensuality
Brace yourself for this next in juncture
You'll be living your life your own way
Just stimulate, stimulate

Why did you finally realize that in my mind
You're a catastrophic complication?
Why did you finally figure out that it's not only
Just a new love situation?

What did you want from me?
(What did you want from me?)
What did you think you'd know?
(What did you think you'd know?)
I needed time to breathe
(I need to)
You needed room to grow
(Grow)
What's that I cannot see?
(I cannot see)
Is it in front of me?
I don't know what you need
Why can't I just say no?

It's not a part of me
That's pushing you from me
I don't know where to be
You've got it
I've got it
There's nothing wrong with me
I don't know what you see
You would be there for me
You needed room to grow

    First verse, It says in juncture, not injunctive.

    And after the second chorus, it goes; What did you want from me? What did you think you'd know? I needed time to breathe. You needed room to grow. What's that I cannot see? Is it in front of me? I don't know what you need. Why can't I just say no?

    Other than the little errors, this song is amazing. :D

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."

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,

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.
