You thought that you could leave me on the ground
Never thought twice to turn around
Look the other way and you’ll be sorry
Looking for a reason way out
But you’re committing treason right now
Baby, turn your head and I’ll be gone for good


When I’m on an eastbound train going
Far, far away
Time, it won’t be wasted again
And I run from everything and a
White horse has lost its meaning
When I run away, when I run away
On an eastbound train


Maybe I can focus my eyes
On a pretty cloudless sunrise
But maybe if it’s cold, ill just stay right here
I’ve snuck out a bathroom window
And didn’t make a sound long ago
In the middle of the night with a withdrawal mind

When I’m on an eastbound train going
Far, far away
Time, it won’t be wasted again
And I run from everything and a
White horse has lost its meaning
When I run away, when I run away
On an eastbound train

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,

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
