Don't leave the house today
I've got the fear
You'll be stolen by bandits
And taken far from here

They'll put you in a cage
Made of skeleton bones
I'll get a ransom call
From my telephone, whoa oh

We don't have that kind of money
We don't have that kind of bread
Stay under the covers
With me instead

Don't leave the house today
On your bicycle
You've got find your body
With the veins in your heart and your ventricles

The guy's aiming to hit you
Speeding down the road
They wanna see you in a body cast
From your head to your toes

We don't have that kind of glue
We don't have that kind of (?)
Stay under the covers
With me today

Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave

We don't have that kind of money
We don't have that kind of bread
Stay under the covers
With me instead

We don't have that kind of glue
We don't have that kind of (?)
Stay under the covers
With me today

Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave
Don't leave, don't leave

    My Interpretation

    I think the words from the second verse are:

    Don't leave the house today On your bicycle You've got a fragile body With your veins and your heart and your ventricles

    Cars aiming to hit you Speeding down the road They wanna see you in a body cast From your head to your toes

    We don't have that kind of glue We don't have that kind of x-ray Stay under the covers With me today

    :)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

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.

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.
