Let me see the world
You're building now
Fear an anger
Feel so sweet
It's hard to hear your voice
When its only in my head
It's a part of you
In everyone I meet

Your screams still haunt me down
I'm on my knees
Trying to imagine
How it must have been
The soil is still crying
The rust on the leafs
Will never fade away
From the pictures in my head

Tell me that you're here
That you never went
That its all a dream
This has never been
Why don't you answer me?
Don't leave us empty handed
Though I know its real
But still it try
Cause in my world
You've never died
Why don't you answer me?
Don't leave us empty handed

Every night
Sleepless
How I want a second chance
For what it's worth
To say I'm sorry
And to say a last goodbye
How I regret that I didn't stay
To hear your laughter
One last time
When you haunt the dreams
Of those who stole your breath
Ask them
How they possibly can sleep at night
Send them my regards
That I'll be waiting

Here in front of your grave
I'll be waiting

Tell me that you're here
That you never went
That its all a dream
This has never been
Why don't you answer me?
Don't leave us empty handed
Though I know its real
But still it try
Cause in my world
You've never died
Why don't you answer me?
Don't leave us empty handed

    A person mourning over a lost loved one, despair over the person deceased and anger over the one who killed said person, is prevalent.

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,

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
