Sims:
I'm in your garden now,
I picked them flowers out,
I went too far right now,
I meant we bottomed out,
You dig for higher ground,
You hit the fire now,
No time for stopping tore the wires out.

Dessa:
Ive got this music in my head,
Ive got this hole in my chest,
Ive got this bird in my hands,
That looks like its been crushed to death.
But its a players game,
Any other wicked token,
Keep one beneath your tongue for when your best gets broken.
I swallowed my tongue,
I bided my time,
Trying to get just this one thing right,
By the book but the hook just sends Im shook,
God knows Ill always bite.
Cause part of the fun is the road rash (yeah)
Feeling the gravel go past (yeah)
And I don't care what they say,
Theres no such thing as a clean break.

Sims
Youre too smart to say what you think
And Im too real not to say what I feel,
But when it starts to sink,
Ill grab the wheel,
Ill keep on steering for you,
Ill keep on steering for you.

Reap out the end if I could,
She walked with vengeance, walks good
She wants my head up on wood,
Lopping off the chopping block,
Shoulda stopped,
And watching red flags coming,
The red things a running,
Always heavy, heavy drops to the floor,
Locking the door,
And thats it,
Do't let her in,
No veteran,
Hello though, the L-O-V-O
?
Back in the red again,
Latched to a skeleton
Old friend, relax and just settle in,
Enjoy that, bad medicine
Push it to the limits,
Good beginnings are the toughest ones to finish.

Dessa:
I found your pale faced blue lipped God,
Beneath the kitchen table.
Starving, and eating paper,
He showed me what you wrote and what you'd asked.
Love,
Nothing can live on prayers like that,
Love.

Its not vengeance and it's not bloodlust,
Justice is just a rule of law,
So hold down the magician,
The beautiful assistant,
Should get her turn with the saw.

Sims
Perocet, gauze,
She working them claws,
Only purpose to draw more bad blood,
Thats a sad war love,
You know that though,
You know those chains were self-imposed
Your words, my stinging molars,
Sing it slow,
Ill curse it while your world is sinking lower

Dessa
Rewind and watch it go backwards,
From last lines to first words,
The flash goes back in the camera,
the flask back in the handbag,
Dont ask,
How after one phone call.
He hit two lovebirds with only one stone wall

Sims
Valentines day at the dead letter office
Looking for my girl like yellow lead better, 214
She said she left to find the meaning of life,
Whatever that means,
I wonder where shes sleeping tonight.

I found your pale faced blue lipped God,
Beneath the kitchen table.
Starving, and eating paper,
He showed me what you wrote and what youd asked,
(Too smart to say what you think)
Love,
(Im too real not to say what I feel)
Nothing can live on prayers like that,
(When it starts to sink,)
Love.

I grab the wheel,
Ill keep on steering for you,
Ill keep on steering for you.

Im in your garden now,
I picked them flowers out,
I went too far right now,
I meant we bottomed out,
You dig for higher ground,
You hit the fire now,
No time for stopping tore the wires out.
(Wires out)
Im in over my head,
Over my head,
You dig me deep, deep, deep,

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
