Summer after high school waiting on the moment to change
I got a couple more weeks till I'm out of the house
And then were gonna go our separate ways
And all the Hometown Heroes stick around and all get a job
And the kids with good grades are making minimum wage
To pay tuition for a school at the top and all the college kids in the streets uptown
I walk the whole damn campus down
She asks what I want to do. I said, “I don't have a clue,
But I'm already thinking ‘bout getting out”
‘Cause everybody's always talking ‘bout how these are the best years they'll ever see
They just fall in line
Like they don't even mind somebody telling them who they're gonna be
Well I don't want anyone telling me where I'm gonna go or who I'm gonna see
Ain't gonna fall in line like I don't even mind somebody telling me who I'm gonna be
Czech Republic border French-kiss me on a Midnight Train
With the wine on the window Timeless Encounter Girl
It's time to kick nostalgia out of my brain
Cause I don't want anyone telling me where I'm gonna go or who I'm gonna see
Ain't gonna fall in line like I don't even mind somebody telling me who I'm gonna be
I got a couple more weeks till I'm out of the house
And then were gonna go our separate ways
And all the Hometown Heroes stick around and all get a job
And the kids with good grades are making minimum wage
To pay tuition for a school at the top and all the college kids in the streets uptown
I walk the whole damn campus down
She asks what I want to do. I said, “I don't have a clue,
But I'm already thinking ‘bout getting out”
‘Cause everybody's always talking ‘bout how these are the best years they'll ever see
They just fall in line
Like they don't even mind somebody telling them who they're gonna be
Well I don't want anyone telling me where I'm gonna go or who I'm gonna see
Ain't gonna fall in line like I don't even mind somebody telling me who I'm gonna be
Czech Republic border French-kiss me on a Midnight Train
With the wine on the window Timeless Encounter Girl
It's time to kick nostalgia out of my brain
Cause I don't want anyone telling me where I'm gonna go or who I'm gonna see
Ain't gonna fall in line like I don't even mind somebody telling me who I'm gonna be

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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,
