Rolled up my sleeves today
'Cause I thought that this was over
But then you called to say
You forgot that broach of your mother's

And every time I try to cut the cord
You come crawling back with some excuse
You forgot something

There's nothing good about goodbye
I could swear I saw you cry
Always knew you'd wind up falling, falling harder
Nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye

Rolled up my sleeves today
'Cause I thought that this had ended
But then you called again
To tell me how you're gonna blow my best friend

And every time I try to cut the cord
You come crawling back with some excuse
You forgot something

There's nothing good about goodbye
I can swear I saw you cry
Always knew you'd wind up falling, falling harder
Every story has two sides
In the he-said-she-said fight
But you'll always wind up falling, falling harder
Nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye

Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder

There's nothing good about goodbye
I can swear I saw you cry
I always knew you'd wind up falling, falling harder
Every story has two sides
In the he-said-she-said fight
She'll always wind up falling, falling harder
Nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye
There's nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye

Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

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,

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
