Here,
If you want me;
Listening so close,
From far away.
I memorized
What you told me,
Like a foreigner
On holiday.
I know to smile
At confusion,
And not forget
The soul
That smiles on me.

Dancing
On the highway,
The broken line that led
From you to me.
Well, I’ll be
At my station
All night...
So come on by ,
If you feel like...

Still here,
If you want me.
Look at what
I can do
With empty time.
A lost love
That likes to haunt me:
It’s waiting 'round
To meet
Me when I die.
Death surrounds, protects the living -
Thhis is what you said,
And I agreed
Not to be
Unforgiving,
Just because your soul
Is untimely free...

Because I’m here, if you want me, my love; dancing on the highway

But your sun still burns my eye
Oh, why?
Oh, why?

    I never realized that the melody to this song is at the end of "In The Lost And Found".

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.

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.
