[Verse 1]
I'm on the side of everyone
Who wants to stay alive, mhmm
Let's go for a ride on my motorbike, I can't hear a thing
I know what you're saying, "Don't give in"
Say it now like a friend, don't give in
And I'll tell you one thing that I'm not
I don't think that I'm right 'cause I didn't get caught
Tell me now where you've been, don't give in
And the thing's killing me
Is a vision of life how it's supposed to be
Without each other we're nothin', don't give in

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause [?]
It falls down
I am right by your side

[Chorus]
It doesn't work for you then don't do it
Feel yourself again
It doesn't work for you then don't do it
Don't live your life with him
Oh, it's nice to meet you, oh

[Verse 2]
Let's go bare knuckle this season
If you lose your heart, then you'd lose your reason
A swashbuckle wearin' thing, don't give in
What do you want me to do?
Spend my brightness burning for you?
Without each other we're nothin', don't give in

[Chorus 2]
It doesn't work for you then don't do it
Feel yourself again
It doesn't work for you then don't do it
Live your life [?]
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Oh, it's nice to meet you, oh

[Bridge]
It's nice to meet you
It doesn't work for you then don't do it
Feel yourself again
It doesn't work for you then don't do it
Don't live your life [?]
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

[Outro]
I'm on the side of everyone
Who wants to stay alive
Don't give in
Say it now like a friend
Don't give in
I love you more than anything
Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
