Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee

And I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now, still need help somehow

Not for myself but for a world, a world in need

No more lives torn apart

And wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And every man would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never ever, ever end

This is my grown up Christmas list

My Christmas list

As children we believe

The grandest sight we'd see

Was something pretty

Wrapped beneath the tree

And heaven only knows

That packages and bows

Could never, ever, ever heal

A human soul

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal, heal

All broken hearts

Every, everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion

Called the innocence of youth

Maybe in our blind belief

We can only find the truth

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

Time, time would heal

All broken hearts

Everyone would have a friend

And love would never end

And right would always win

This is my grown up Christmas list

This is my lifelong wish

This is my grown up Christmas list

My grown up Christmas list

I wish I found a [Incomprehensible]

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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/

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.
