This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Prove to me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your arm 'round my collar bone
And open the door
Don't lie to me
If you're putting the dog to sleep
That pet you just couldn't keep
And couldn't afford
Well, prove to me
I'm not gonna die alone
Unstitch that shed-off soul
To close up the hole, that tore through my skin
Well my trust in you
Is a dog with a broken leg
Tendons too torn to beg
For you to let me back in
You said I can't prove to you
You're not gonna die alone
But trust me to take you home
To clean up that blood all over your paws
You can't keep running out
Kicking yourself off the bed
Kicking yourself in the head
Because you're kicking me too
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
I don't think so
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
I don't think so
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your arm 'round my collar bone
And open the door
Don't lie to me
If you're putting the dog to sleep
That pet you just couldn't keep
And couldn't afford
Well, prove to me
I'm not gonna die alone
Unstitch that shed-off soul
To close up the hole, that tore through my skin
Well my trust in you
Is a dog with a broken leg
Tendons too torn to beg
For you to let me back in
You said I can't prove to you
You're not gonna die alone
But trust me to take you home
To clean up that blood all over your paws
You can't keep running out
Kicking yourself off the bed
Kicking yourself in the head
Because you're kicking me too
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
I don't think so
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
Put your trust in me
I'm not gonna die alone
I don't think so

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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I believe these are the correct lyrics.
Prove to me I'm not gonna die alone Put your arm 'round my collar bone And open the door
Don't lie to me If you're putting the dog to sleep That pet you just couldn't keep And couldn't afford
Well prove to me I'm not gonna die alone Unstitch that shit I've sewn To close up the hole that tore through my skin
Well my trust in you Is a dog with a broken leg Tendons too torn to beg For you to let me back in
You said I can't prove to you You're not gonna die alone But trust me to take you home To clean up that blood all over your paws
You can't keep running out Kicking yourself off the bed Kicking yourself in the head Because you're kicking me too
Put your trust in me I'm not gonna die alone Put your trust in me I'm not gonna die alone I don't think so
Put your trust in me I'm not gonna die alone Put your trust in me I'm not gonna die alone I don't think so
