It was clinical we'd break away
It was typical this stray lit day we'd save
(it was all about to change)
It was all about to change the way we'd break
(clear as day)
Alive we'd lay
(a day with rain)
But not for one
Second to change
It was all about to change the way we'd break
But we won't break

I never tried too hard to get you
Ever tried to fall to catch you
You'll never know who I really am
If I ever saw inside I let you
Live a lie and I'll forget you
You'll never know who I really am

It was criminal I lay awake
Never lyrical you'd help me waste my time
(It was all about to fade)
It was all about to fade away or break
(clear as day)
Do you feel fake?
(a day with rain)
And time will run
We separate, it was all about to change the way we'd break
But we won't break

I never tried too hard to get you
Ever tried to fall to catch you
You'll never know who I really am
If I ever saw inside I let you
Live a lie and I'll forget you
You'll never know who I really am
Who I am, who I am, who I am

I'm not fine but I'm fine without you here,
I'm not fine but I'm fine without you here, at all, at all
I'm not fine but I'm fine without you here,
I'm not fine but I'm fine without you here, at all, at all
I'm not fine but I'm fine without you here,
I'm not fine but I'm fine without you here, at all, at all

I never tried too hard to get you
Ever tried to fall to catch you
You'll never know who I really am
If I ever saw inside I let you
Live a lie and I'll forget you
You'll never know who I really am
Who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.
