I'm playing guitar
You're asleep upstairs
I try and be quiet
But I know you never care tomorrow you'll work
And stay a little late
You'll walk in looking pretty
And this is what I'll say

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
From the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right

You look at me and say thank you
I say you're welcome too
You know I really do mean it
I mean it all for you
Sorry if I've been weird lately
I get so fucking caught up
In whatever else makes me crazy
We don't talk enough

But here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
From the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right

I always wanted it to be just right

I know I know I know it's not perfect
It's not long enough and it's too trite
I know I know I'm not always my best for you
And though a melody won't make it alright

Here's the I love you song
I know you've been waiting on
I'm sorry it took so long
But I wanted it to be just right
I never could make you cry
I thought I'd try one more try
From the moment I met you I
I always wanted it to be just right

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,

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.
