Somewhere there in between
The dirty sex and the faded jeans
I caught a glimpse of a man that I used to be
It scared the living shit out of me
I must of ran that scam about a million times
Now I'll do it again just to prove to you that I can
So what.

What am I so guilty of?
Did I not listen or was there something I'm missing?
I think that my problem is I fall apart when
I start sweet and then get mean
Until I'm bored with everything
I can't stand that you're all so close to me
I am so afraid of what you'll see

I must've ran that scam about a million times
Now I'll do it again just to prove to you that I can
So what.
What am I so guilty of?
Did I not listen or was there something I'm missing?
I think that my problem is I fall apart when
I know that I said it, but I never meant it

I already jumped in
I already jumped right in
I gave myself a chance and I bought some time
I wrote a lot of words that say I'm fine
When they offered me a chance to fuck it up all again
I said I believe I could

So what.
What are you guilty of?
I fucking panic when you're here

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
