This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I've been watchin' you like a hawk
I know you're hidin' somethin'
When we're together
I can hardly breathe
I feel like it's gonna spill out of me
What I believe
I would rather wait
'Til it looks so bad
That you can't no longer hide it from me
I would rather wait
For the chance to get you in hide me
[Chorus]
You've got a girlfriend in this city
You've got a girlfriend in this city
Oh, is your girlfriend pretty?
Does she look like me?
Does she blow your mind all the time
Or are you just passing time
You've got a girlfriend in this city
And it's not me.
I stay at home on the other side of town
Waiting, alone, would you bring me flowers
You are far away
And when I don't know won't hurt me
But it do
And worse it's killing you all the guilt inside
I can see yeah, it's true
[Chorus]
And I'm dying to know what she's like
Although I know it won't make this right
You've got a girlfriend in this city
And it's not me
Does she wear her hair up
Or her hair down
Is she quiet
Or is she loud
Does she dress up
Or she dress down
Why do you keep her around
Push it to you yeah
Push it to you yeah
Push it to you you yeah
Push it to you yeah
Push it to you
[Chorus]
Does she blow your mind all the time
Or are you just passing time
You've got a girlfriend in this city
And it's not me
Girlfriend

Girlfriend in this city
I know about a girlfriend
I know about a girlfriend in this city
I know about her in this city
In this city
I know about her, I know about her
I know about her, I know about her
I know about her, I know about her
I know about her, I know about her
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Girlfriend, girlfriend
I know you're hidin' somethin'
When we're together
I can hardly breathe
I feel like it's gonna spill out of me
What I believe
I would rather wait
'Til it looks so bad
That you can't no longer hide it from me
I would rather wait
For the chance to get you in hide me

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
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,
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
