So tell me does it feel so good to look so good,
Because I can’t stop staring and I wish you wouldn't tell me,
I make you so crazy
So tell me how you stand up without your feet touching the ground
I know, ‘cause, they don’t meet, they just float there,
Suspended in mid-air
So tell me how you stand up without your feet touching the ground
I know, ‘cause, they don’t meet, they just float there,
Suspended in mid-air,
I want to be right there

But it’s so unfair that you’re out of reach,
Now that my defenses have been breached,
And you kill me,
You cut me up and then you let me bleed
Oohhhhh there’s a world I know that you can not see,
When you stand so close that I can not breathe, And You kill me,
I’m suffocating and so happily

So tell me do you fly so high with your brand new wings,
Make the angels sigh and the mortals sing,
You’re such a pretty thing,
Too perfect for a human being
So tell me how do blue eyes get so dark so deep,
Well every glance I steal is one you keep,
You’re like poetry,
I want to rap you up in melody,
That’s all I want to be,
A tune...

But it’s so unfair that you’re out of reach,
Now that my defenses have been breached,
And you kill me,
You cut me open and then you let me bleed
Oohhhhh there’s a world I know that you can not see,
When you stand so close that I can not breathe,
And you kill me,
I’m suffocating and so happily

Do I really need to beg ya baby,
I’ll do it; it’s so damn easy,
Do I really need to suffer like a little me,
No heart should break so easily,
Tragedy

But it’s so unfair that you’re out of reach,
And I washed up empty on your beach,
And you kill me,
I’m drowning here in apathy
There’s a world I know that you can not see,
When you stand so close that I can not breathe,
And you kill me,
I’m suffocating and so happily
And you kill me,
I’m drowning here in apathy

O no no no no no no,
O no no no no no no,
O no no no no no no

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
