You keep calling my phone non-stop
Don't you know I won't pick it up
You never leave a message
Look how you've changed

You got nothing to say, getting in my way
You show up at my house
Your getting so obsessive
Like I have time for you

Wasn't it me you didn't want
Wasn't it me who's hanging on
No I'm done but before I go I want you to know

This is how it feels
When you wait for a call that never comes
Are you waking up 'cause you miss someone
This is how it feels
When the trust you had is broken,
And you're left to burn with your heart wide open

You wanna meet up and tell me why
Why and how you had the heart to fuck up my whole life
That's just so you

And now I've moved on by myself
And baby I won't forgive
I'll just forget you lived
And I hope it hurts

Wasn't it me you try to blame
Wasn't it me you threw away
But before you go there's something you should know

This is how it feels
When you wait for a call that never comes
Are you waking up 'cause you miss someone
This is how it feels
When the trust you had is broken,
And you're left to burn with your heart wide open

You taught me how to hate you
And I was so in love
When I tried to save us it was not enough
So what the hell is different
Cause now that I am gone
You're calling back to tell me
I'm the one

This is how it feels.

This is how it feels
When you wait for a call that never comes
Are you waking up 'cause you miss someone
This is how it feels
When the trust you had is broken,
And you're left to burn with your heart wide open

Do you only want me
Cause you can't have me
Do you only want me
Cause I'm gone
Do you only want me
Cause you can't have me
Do you only want me
Cause I'm gone
Do you only want me
Cause you can't have me
Do you only want me
Cause I'm gone
Do you only want me
Cause you can't have me
Do you only want me
Cause I'm gone

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

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.
