I saw you in the hallway,
I bet that's what they all say,
You probably didn't even notice
I was the loser,
Who was starin' at my shoes 'n'
Couldn't think of nothin' to say.
I'm on the runway,
Of a flight that's going one way,
On "cross your finger" airlines.
I'm picking up pace
I'm gettin' nervous in the worst way,
Here goes nothing

I saw her walkin' over,
She's slowly movin' closer,
Wrote her a letter about a week ago and,
To my surprise
She replied and said:

You can hold me once,
You can hold me twice,
Even better if the stars are good tonight.
You can hold me, be my one and only,
This is the reply to the letter you wrote me.

You told me to meet you after gym class,
But I forgot to get a hall pass,
And got sent to the office.
You tried to call me,
Asked everyone around who saw me,
They didn't even notice.
You're on your way now,
Movin' with your parents to some hick town,
A thousand miles away.
I'm in the playground,
And there's so much I could say now,
I still remember when

[Chorus]

It's been awhile since we said "hi",
Three hundred and sixty five days have gone by now,
And I could paint of picture of you.
I see you every time I pass your locker,
Remember the time we talked 'til six a.m.
And I'm tired of missing you
Six a.m. and I'm tired of missing you

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use 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.
