This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
First it comes on quiet, creeping slow
Clever words and phrases only stain
I remain so lost and buried under everything that I need
When all I want is you
I've been here so very long and every word is calculated
Never questioned or debated
All these practice poses
I could wreck it if I had to
But I'm the wreck so what would that do?
My masterpiece will fall apart
It was over before the start
If I burn out and slip away
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
Making mostly to themselves
Don't make a sound in case they hear you
It only hurts me to be near you
Keep those tired eyes closed
Careful, follow my instruction
And I will show you self-destruction
This masterpiece is only mine
Entirely guilty by design
If I burn out and slip away
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
This is just a part I portray
Can I hide in you a while?
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
This is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
You're beautiful
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
I don't know how it got this way
Clever words and phrases only stain
I remain so lost and buried under everything that I need
When all I want is you
I've been here so very long and every word is calculated
Never questioned or debated
All these practice poses
I could wreck it if I had to
But I'm the wreck so what would that do?
My masterpiece will fall apart
It was over before the start
If I burn out and slip away
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
Making mostly to themselves
Don't make a sound in case they hear you
It only hurts me to be near you
Keep those tired eyes closed
Careful, follow my instruction
And I will show you self-destruction
This masterpiece is only mine
Entirely guilty by design
If I burn out and slip away
This is just a part I portray
And this is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
This is just a part I portray
Can I hide in you a while?
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
I just can't let it, let it out
No, I just can't let it out
This is just a part I portray
You're beautiful, can I hide in you a while?
You're beautiful
If this is just a part I portray
If this is just a part I portray
I don't know how it got this way

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,
Punchline

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
