Bite down, hold your tongue, girl
Lights out, over our world
Lips spoken the truth, left you feeling ashamed
You're calling out

Reborn, a well rehearsed line
Once more, wasting our time
But I'm ready to set your record straight
When you're calling out

Wear your time feeling lucky
If you're lucky at all
Wear your time out

Remember the day, remember the night
Remember the weekend walk to the coldest fight in the rain
We said our goodbyes, honey, my love washed out
As you made up your mind in the rain

Soft heart full of regret
Beats slow like a bad threat
I burned the letter you wrote re-inviting me in
You're calling out

Your choice and I've spoken
My word, yours broken
And now you're wanting it back, it backfired again
But you're calling out

Wear your time feeling lucky
If you're lucky at all
Wear your time out

Remember the day, remember the night
Remember the weekend walk to the coldest fight in the rain
We said our goodbyes, honey, my love washed out
As you made up your mind in the rain

Remember the day, remember the night
Remember the weekend walk to the coldest fight in the rain
We said our goodbyes, honey, my love washed out
As you made up your mind in the rain

And I'm gone, I'm gone

Another goodbye, another goodbye
So self assured with unbelievable posture
Attempt retired at the blink of an eye
She said, ?Our darkest hour was the worst departure?

Another goodbye, another goodbye
So self assured with unbelievable posture
Attempt retired at the blink of an eye
She said, ?Our darkest hour was the worst departure?

Remember the day, remember the night
Remember the weekend walk to the coldest fight in the rain
We said our goodbyes, honey, my love washed out
As you made up your mind in the rain

Remember the day, remember the night
Remember the weekend walk to the coldest fight in the rain
We said our goodbyes, honey, my love washed out
As you made up your mind in the rain

    I'm pretty sure that in the second line of the chorus it is "weekend" not "weakened".

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
