it's all i wanted
it's all i could see
you can watch me bleed
settle your belief inside of me

take someone beside you
realize this ain't your love to break
and the someone beside you
settle your belief inside of me, me

feeling in your heart
was more than i could see here

it's all i wanted
it's all i could see
you can watch me bleed
settle your belief inside of me, me

feeling in your heart
was more than i could see, here
feeling in your heart
was more than i could see
one and two is three

would you should you could you cut me down down
would you should you could you cut me down down
down down
would you should you could you cut me down down
down down down
down down
down down

    "it's all i wanted it's all i could see" The way I understand this song is that the singer wanted something/someone and that was all they could see.

    "you can watch me bleed settle your belief inside of me" He hurt someone in the process of getting what they wanted and now they're feeling guilty.

    "take someone beside you realize this ain't your love to break and the someone beside you settle your belief inside of me, me" But he wants the person to understand that even though he hurt them, that gives them no right to break the love the singer and this other person have.

    " feeling in your heart was more than i could see here " He didn't know how strong this person's feelings were.. or he didn't believe they were.

    "one and two is three " This line somehow stands out, to point out there's three people in this situation and one of them is the odd one out and that's just the way life is..

    " would you should you could you cut me down down " He's wondering if he deserves to be punished by this person he hurt.

    Just the picture I get when I listen to it....

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
