This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Show me, show me, show me a starry-eyed kid
I, I, I will break his jaw
I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up
No, oh, oh, oh
And I will save him from himself
Here's a picture with a note
"No, don't turn out like me"
It's only for your own good
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And haven't you heard
The word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits"
Get it into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Even when there's n-n-nothing worth living for
You're still, you're still, still worth lying for
N-no one has to know-ow-ow
And haven't you heard
The word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits"
Get it into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old (this story's getting old)
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old (this story's getting old)
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow, now-ow-ow-ow, now-ow-ow-ow
Stop!
I, I, I will break his jaw
I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up
No, oh, oh, oh
And I will save him from himself
Here's a picture with a note
"No, don't turn out like me"
It's only for your own good
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And haven't you heard
The word on the street is
"I lost it, called it quits"
Get it into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, k-keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Even when there's n-n-nothing worth living for
You're still, you're still, still worth lying for
N-no one has to know-ow-ow
And haven't you heard
The word on the street is

Get it into the sun
Out from behind the gossip
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This story's getting old

Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old (this story's getting old)
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow
This story's getting old
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind
Keep, keep talking
Keep this alive
This story's getting old (this story's getting old)
The homewrecker with a heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind now-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow, now-ow-ow-ow, now-ow-ow-ow
Stop!

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Why wasn't this good enough to be on From Under the Cork Tree? I could've replaced at least five songs with it.
