Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
Don't you realize
I long for your lips
Don't you realize
I long for your lips

Let me out of here
Let me out of here

You drive me 'round and 'round
You drive me 'round and 'round
Until I crash into the stars
You take me for a spin
You take me for a spin
Until I crash into the stars
I'm breaking into cars
I'm breaking into cars

Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
You keep ignoring me
And the teardrops fall
You keep ignoring me
And the teardrops fall

    I think the beginning of the song is about a crush the person has on someone else. The person wants to beat everyone else at catching the other person's attention. I think the middle of the song is about their relationship - the fireworks the person feels, the excitement, or in this case "crash into the stars." The ignoring/teardrops part of the song is about the end of the relationship. The other person is no longer interested in them.

    I'm not sure what "I'm breaking into cars" is supposed to mean.

    OR the entire song could be about a crush on a person.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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/

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.
