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”
we won't go down, no not this way
I'll stand by you through night and day
it's laser love, you know it too
you're young, you're fun and it's okay
let's make the future, not mistakes
my hand in yours, you know it's true
girl you're not the only one I knew
girl you are so young and you are so cute
girl no more games and no more playing
I don't care what they are saying, it's true
I see your face before I dream
I'm walking, cars are made of cream
just to see your face again
your lights are off but I don't care
your parents hear this lonely cheer
they can't take what we have away
girl you're not the only one I knew
girl you are so young and you are so cute
girl no more games and no more playing
I don't care what they are saying, it's true
you played me like a deck of cards
our heart is soft but this is hard
the one night stand you know was right
and in my mind I'm back tonight
a thousand songs I wanna sing
I want to be your everything
girl you know the only reason why
I have to keep you up all night
put down your pencil, put down your pens
don't worry about all of your friends
your student body is craving me
just take me in and I will be and I will be
your gossip girl, your boy meets world
anything you want me to be
miles away from yesterday
you'll take me back to the night we laid
beneath the stars, your hand on mine
we'll make it through, we'll be just fine
let whispers casually pass in time
and let us lay down tonight
they're saying no but it's a yes
love like this, it just won't rest
my hands on ya' chest, your heart beats slow
it's us tonight if we both let go
time means nothing, it's numb to me
take my hand then we'll both be free
one cloud closer to heavenly skies
it's ecstasy in both our eyes
girl you're not the only one I knew
girl you are so young and you are so cute
girl no more games and no more playing
I don't care what they are saying, it's true
girl you're not the only one I knew
girl you are so young and you are so cute
girl no more games and no more playing
I don't care what they are saying, it's true

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
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,
