(How I met your mother… now…)

Heard you say,
“You’re too good for me.”
When you got down to call me over,
It blew my head away.
Never wanted me,
Now you left the keys.
Through the dark and up the stairs,
I can hardly breathe.

Waited all my life,
For this kiss tonight.

Sneakin’ out your window now,
There is only one way out.
The grass is so far down.
My pants are fallin’ to the ground,
Two’s company and three’s a crowd.
Regret it, forget it.
How I met your mother, now.

Freaking out,
We’re naked now.
In the dark, our lips connect,
Hush, don’t make a sound.
Then I knew, too good to be true,
Those green eyes had turned to blue,
Realized it wasn’t you.

Waited all my life,
Then it crashed tonight.

Sneakin’ out your window now,
There is only one way out.
The grass is so far down.
My pants are fallin’ to the ground,
Two’s company and three’s a crowd.
Regret it, forget it.
How I met your mother.

And when you ran into the room,
You screamed it in, now what to do,
You can’t learn this at school.
I never dreamed this how we’d be,
One day, I hope you’ll forgive me.
So tell me,
Now, who’s laughing?

Heard you say,
“You’re too good for me.”
Now your mom just picked me up in her Escalade.

Sneakin’ out your window now,
There is only one way out.
The grass is so far down.
My pants are fallin’ to the ground,
Two’s company and three’s a crowd.
Regret it, forget it.
How I met your mother,
How I met your mother, now.

    i think it's more like he got tricked or he accidentally kissed the girls mother. "then i realized it wasn't you" makes it sound accidental. so maybe he was supposed to sneak in and get it on with the girl but he accidentally got her mother.

    I think it's about a guy who likes a girl, but the girl thinks she is too good for him. One day he gets a call from her, and he's surprised, but he goes and sneaks up to her room. It's dark, so he can't exactly see, and there's a girl there and they start making out and then he realizes it's her mom. Then the girl walks in. It's like the 'your mom' thing, only if he said it could be taken literally LOL!

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/

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.
