Lately, it's been hard to breathe
Just trying to keep my head above water
Sometimes life's in the way, all work and no play
And lately, it's been hard to see the way you used to be
And I wonder, if the words I don't say
Can make it okay

But I've been thinking 'bout us
And I know that the going is rough
And it feels like a little too much
Maybe I don't say it enough
So listen

Girl you know you're beautiful
I used to tell you all the time
But when you let your hair down it
Still drives me crazy
Something like a miracle
That I get to call you mine
So baby have I told you that I love you
Lately

Baby we can stay at home
Or ditch the phone, don't have to go nowhere
And get lost in your eyes, let the time fly by
Baby, it don't matter what tomorrow brings you know
I'll be right there, today and tonight,
The rest of my life

I've been thinking 'bout us
And I know the going is rough
And it feels like a little too much
Maybe I don't say it enough

Girl you know you're beautiful
I used to tell you all the time
But when you let your hair down it
Still drives me crazy
Something like a miracle
That I get to call you mine
So baby have I told you that I love you
Lately

Oh yeah
Have I told you
Lately
Oh mmm

Have I told that I love you
That you're funny that you're sweet
And I love what's outside and everything that's underneath
Have I told you that I miss you every second I'm asleep
And I love the way you smiling when I kiss you in my dreams
Have I told you? Mmm
Have I told you?

Girl you know you're beautiful
I used to tell you all the time
But when you let your hair down, it
Still drives me crazy
You're beautiful
Gonna tell you all the time
'Cause when you let your hair down, it
Still drives me crazy
Something like a miracle
I can't believe that you're all mine
So baby have I told you you that I love you
Lately

Have I told you that I love you
That you're funny, that you're sweet
And I love what's outside and everything that's underneath
Lately

Have I told you that I miss you every second I'm asleep
And I love the way you smiling when I kiss you in my dreams
Have I told you?

Lately

Silent Planet
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
