So what if I lost my mind
So what if this is goodbye
Who cares what they say
They never cared anyway

The world is a cage
We can never escape, and I scream
Day after day, day after day
My life is a page
I can never erase, and I scream
So say what you say, say what you say, and I scream
I don't want to be
You don't want to be
I don't want to be me

This life that we made is fake
All they want to do is take
Look all around you
There's nothing you can do

The world is a cage
We can never escape, and I scream
Day after day, day after day
My life is a page
I can never erase, and I scream

So say what you say, say what you say, and I scream
Cause I don't want to be
You don't want to be
I don't want to be me

There's no over thinking
When everything's sinking around you
Staring down the barrel
Of another empty bottle
I'd give it all back, give it all back
Just to feel real again

The world is a cage
We can never escape
Day after day, day after day
My life is a page
I can never erase, and I scream
So say what you say, say what you say, and I scream
Cause I don't want to be
You don't want to be
I don't want to be me
I don't want to be
You don't want to be
I don't want to be me

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,
