So take me somewhere further away, and I’ll keep on listening to every last word that you say. The syllables are glistening, reflected off the tip of your tongue. Refracted in my corneas and fed into my tired drunken brain, I can see what you’ve been saying all along. Drive home with nothing to do but to watch approaching shorelines with you. A long drive home is the perfect excuse for some quality lap time.

All day long, we played in the sand drinking cold beers with all our friends and started arguing in front of them… how embarrassing. So take me somewhere further away and I’ll keep on listening. It makes no sense to me but still makes sense to ask you to stay and watch the setting sun with me. A long drive home with nothing to say. Just an awkwardness between you and me. A long drive home, but seconds away from making the same damn mistakes we made all fucking day. But hey, it’s not your fault babe, so .driver keep driving

A long way from home, lost at sea. Just the ocean and me. Just the waves crashing into me. Just the ocean in front of me… but hey, it’s not your fault babe that it’s not like the movie’s ending. So hey, it’s no big secret, and it’s not your problem, so driver, keep driving away.

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,

Punchline
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.

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.
