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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
