I can't take these fights anymore
I've got too much at stake
I swear I've spent too many nights on the floor
I've set myself up to blow it
I'm such an ass and I know it

This time I'm falling faster
Than a boeing with broken wings
With other to contrast her
They always leave me feeling
Calloused, broken, alone

Hey Heather, I'm lost in the letters
Together we can find something better

So that's it, you're not coming back
I locked the door
But just in case
I think I left a spare under the mat
I know it makes it tougher
I can't help it
I love her

Try to avoid disaster
When her reply meant everything
Distance is hard to master
Most when it leaves you feeling
Tired, exhausted, overblown

Hey Heather, I'm lost in the letters
Together we can find something better

Cause when December comes
I hope you'll see how you've been missing out
Then call me up to confess
That it's me you're thinking about
How 'bout you give me the day?
I'll set off in a second
I need you here with me

Hey Heather, I'm lost in the letters
Together we can find something better
Hey Heather, I think I'm lost in the letters
(This time I'm falling faster)
Together we can find something better
(This time I'm falling)

    there are a couple mistakes in these.. "Than I'm blowing with broken wings" is "than a boeing with broken wings"

    "contrust" is "contrast"

    "Try to avoid disaster When ? everything This chance is hard to master" is "Try to avoid disaster When her reply meant everything Distance is hard to master"

    and i've heard from the brother of one of the guitarists that this song is about davis' ex-girlfriend.

    I love this. It's like he knows they're over and he shouldn't let her back into his life but if there's some chance she'll give him another shot he'll let her back in because he can't help but love her.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
