I got the concept and came to the conclusion
That the top floor was just an illusion
To the fact that I got this break in my back
That I can't get out, I can't figure out how

You appeared right in front of me
Before you marched down South, the university
Is where you spend your daylight
We're both just waiting for this Friday night

Although the distance is daring, we both know how to drive
Oh, we can't make up for the lost times that we both apologize for
And I can't stand the fact that this extremity is the center of my day
I see where you're coming from

We've been on the same boat since day one
I see how you like to run
Back to the things that got you here, oh
Although the distance is daring, we both know how to drive

Oh, we can't make up for the lost times that we both apologize for
And I can't stand the fact that this extremity is the center of my day
You're the center of my day
Oh, Mondays I sleep away

Tuesdays I lay awake
Wednesdays they are the worst
Whoa, Thursdays I reminisce
Friday, I see your face and I can't breathe

Although the distance is daring, I sure know what it's like to be alone

    allytothemax is right, the lyrics that are up right now are wrong. it's:

    we can't make up for the lost time that we both apologize for.

    and for the very last line its: and I can't breathe. not can

    I think there are more lyrics that are wrong here, but whatever. anyways, this song is about a somewhat long distance relationship, and he's saying that even though your going to be far away I'm still going to try to see you as often as possible, and I'm willing to drive down there to come see you because I think about you all the time. they apologize to eachother because they want to spend as much time together as possible and its frusturating that they can't because of the distance and how she's really busy with college so they only really get to see eachother on Fridays (and weekends?)

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,

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
