You would give up your right arm to go back
To when you had a right arm
You'll need some muscles to move it backward
Push back the hands of time
Broken glass is glittering like diamonds
Can't hear yourself thinking over the sirens
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
You wanna sing to drown out the car horn
Squeeze your eyes shut and scream like a newborn
Like a newborn babe
Dawn breaks like a fallen vase
Push back the hands of time
Unwelcome vision of rosy fingers
Push back the hands of time
It wouldn't help you if you'd had any sleep
It wouldn't save you from the mission creep
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Screeching tires but never a collision
Endless day without a sunset provision
Endless day
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
You wanna sing to drown out the car horn
Squeeze your eyes shut and scream like a newborn
Like a newborn babe
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
To when you had a right arm
You'll need some muscles to move it backward
Push back the hands of time
Broken glass is glittering like diamonds
Can't hear yourself thinking over the sirens
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
You wanna sing to drown out the car horn
Squeeze your eyes shut and scream like a newborn
Like a newborn babe
Dawn breaks like a fallen vase
Push back the hands of time
Unwelcome vision of rosy fingers
Push back the hands of time
It wouldn't help you if you'd had any sleep
It wouldn't save you from the mission creep
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Screeching tires but never a collision
Endless day without a sunset provision
Endless day
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
You wanna sing to drown out the car horn
Squeeze your eyes shut and scream like a newborn
Like a newborn babe
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time
Push back the hands of time

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Amazing

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.
