Don't hang up, can we talk?
So confused, it's like I'm lost
What went wrong? What made you go?
Don't pretend you don't know
This is me, I'm unchangeable

When did we fall apart?
Or did you lie from the start?
When you said it?s only you
I was blind, such a fool
Thinking we were unbreakable

It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forever more
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
'Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful

I've been told what's done is done
To let it go and carry on
And deep inside I know that's true
I'm stuck in time, stuck on you
We were still untouchable

It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forever more
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
?Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
?Cause I'm only dreamin'
Get out, get out, get out, get out
Get out of my head now

Because we're much better all together
Can't let go!

It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forever more
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
?Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful

It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forever more
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
?Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful
Made me unbeatiful

    My Interpretation

    Ahh, haven't we all been here! Its basically when a relationship ends & you have no idea why as you thought everything was pretty much perfect.

    "Was it something that I said? Was it something that I did? 'Cause iv'e gotta know what made me unbeautiful" Simply perfect lyrics :) she's basically saying how could you have the feelings you said you had for me & then they just disappear so quickly.

    Her voice is gorgeous, I can see her being a little dark horse!

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
