It's over now but it might not be for long
It's been such a waste of time
Been gone for so long
I sit and watch my own face as the color runs out
I feel so restless alone and I get so bored that I wanna go out

And I've been walking alone at night
Home at twilight
What do I care?
You were just a waste of my time

No more sympathy for the one I used to adore
I lay my head on the floor
And I just can't help it but I'm wanting ya more
I smoke cigarettes alone
Get drunk on my own
I meet some friends at the bar but I get so bored that I wanna go home

And I've been walking alone at night
Home at twilight
What do I care?
You were just a waste of my time

It's over now but it might not be for long
It's been such a waste of time
Been gone for so long
I sit and watch my own face as the color runs out
I feel so restless alone and I get so bored that I wanna go out

And I've been walking alone at night
Home at twilight
What do I care?
You were just a waste of my time

I might go walking alone at night
Home at twilight
What do I care?
You were just a waste of my time

Little Feat
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
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,
