It's getting harder to believe,
I'm thinking anybody else can see
The writing's on the walls,
But my notebook's on the shelf.
And the pissed off marks on paper
Slowly fade away with time,
While the memories get blurry
'Cause they're lost inside your mind.
I'm wishing for a dream or two
Before the end of every day
So all the broken pieces mend
And I can put them all away.
The little bits and scraps and parts of
The life behind my back.
That I keep forgetting more of
But it needs to be like that.

Hold me close I'm falling faster.
Tell me this could last forever.
Hold me close I'm falling faster.

Hold me close I'm falling faster.
Tell me this could last forever.
Hold me close I'm falling faster.

And now I'm dreaming of the nights
That we both remember well.
And I'm sure I'm most assured that
The way you made me feel
Could be the greatest love I've ever felt
From anybody else.
But everybody thinks I'm cruel, that I am here just for myself.
Because "how could he really love her? He's in it just for kicks."
And that's why we've lasted so long even though we are like this.
So take take the moments that we share
And don't you dare ever forget
That I will always be right here
Without a single sole regret.

Hold me close I'm falling faster.
Tell me this could last forever.
Hold me close I'm falling faster.

Hold me close I'm falling faster.
Tell me this could last forever.
Hold me close I'm falling faster.

Hold me close I'm falling faster.
Tell me this could last forever.
Hold me close I'm falling faster.

Hold me close I'm falling faster.
Tell me this could last forever.
Hold me close I'm falling faster.

    Man, i simply adore this song. I wish they were on iTunes (god, how i hate being iTune's bitch)

    anyway, i think it's about his relationship (obviously i guess) but maybe the guy is trying to keep up looks with his friends and he's just reassuring the girl that he really does love her.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

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.
