You make me happy
Whether you know it or not
We should be happy
That's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowing you are the one that I want
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
You're all of my days

You're looking so cool
You're looking so fly, I can't deny
That when I'm staring you down right dead in the eye
I wanna try
To be the person you want
The person you need
It's hard to conceive
That somebody like you
Could be
With someone like me

I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener
On the other side
The more I think
The more I wish
That we could lie here for hours
And justa, reminisce
Oh oh

You're lookin' so fresh
It's catchin' my eye
Why oh why
Did I not see this before
The girl I adore
Was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back
And look in your eye
And ask why
It took us so long to see
We're meant to be

I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener
On the other side
The more I think
The more I wish
That we could lie here for hours
And justa, reminisce
On the good the bad the ugly
The smiles the laughs the funny
Or all the things
We put each other through
It's for you for you
For you

You make me happy
Whether you know it or not
We should be happy
That's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowing you are the one that I want
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days

I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener
On the other side
The more I think
The more I wish
That we could lie here for hours and justa, reminisce
Oh oh

    with the line "the grass is greener on the other side" i think thats referring to basically how its better now that he finally is with this girl. the other side is his relationship instead of being single

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,

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.
