As much as I've been trying to say
As much as I appear OK
I'm holding on
Pretending nothing is wrong
There's many things I wanna see
But first of all I gotta see me
Coz I can't breathe

Now that we're over
Lifes getting colder
Trying so hard to feel the sun

Can I begin to re-live my life?
Release all the pain inside
Over done now
Wanna love again

Every day is a different vibe
Up and down like a fairground ride
Over done now

How can I begin?
Oh oh oh
How can I begin?
Oh oh oh
I'm not trying win
Oh oh oh
How can I begin?
To love again

Situated in my bed
Pictures running through my head
Some are good
Some wish I never took no no
The probability of me
Feeling down and lonely
I'm no longer scared

Now that we're over
Life is getting colder
Trying so hard to feel the sun

Can I begin to re-live my life?
Release all the pain inside
I wanna love again
Over done now

Every day is a different vibe
Up and down like a fairground ride
Over done now

How can I begin?
Oh oh oh
How can I begin?
Oh oh oh
I'm not trying win
Oh oh oh
How can I begin
To love again?

Hold on
When all the hope is gone
I'm starting at the ending
And I'll just move on

Fall down
Still wearing my crown
Nothing's gonna hurt me
Coz what goes around comes around
Yeah oh oh oh oh
What goes around comes around

Baby can I begin to re-live my life?
And release all the pain inside
Over done now

How can I begin?
Oh oh oh
How can I begin?
Oh oh oh
I'm not trying to win
Oh oh oh
How can I begin?
To love again

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/

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.

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.
