[Verse 1]
Yeah
Tell me where we at now
I feel so out of place calling you up, like where you at now
See you on my timeline all the time like are you sad now
Waiting for your text like you were so right can you calm down
Can you calm down, Yeah
So many things that are living in my head
Every conversation that we had and never said
Writing up an essay but i'm never hitting send
Tell me whats a crown without a queen on your bed
Tell me was the feeling real was it all pretend
'Cause its kind of late for conversations with a friend
Yeah and if I had it girl I'd do it all again
My hearts been beating on your chest, let it end girl
I wish you knew

[Hook]
I wish that you knew that you were on my mind
I wish that you knew that you take all my time
I wish you see the little things I do
I wish that you knew how lost I am in you

[Verse 2]
Where'd you get your licence girl you drive me insane
They told me get somebody else but everybody's the same
Say love is a fire guess i'm feeling the flame
I've been a little lost and its got me feeling ways
And I want to see you smile but I want to be the reason
Seasons always changing but i'm falling every season
2am at night I know I thought you said you sleeping
Then you hit me up like how you doing why we even speaking
Like you've got the life that you want then you hit me up
I said i'm better for you then you go and hang me up
Lately feeling bitter like will it ever be us
I never get to hold you but you want to keep in touch
Like, what you doing
All i'm ever thinking, girl what you doing
Tell me everything your heart has been pursuing
Are you hurting again yeah I knew it
But ill be right there for you give me a minute
Be right there for you look who isn't
Cause I care for you don't you get it
This could be so easy if you let it, Yeah I said it
All these things that I wish you knew
All these stars are from me to you
And when your down ill be there for you
Cause in my mind its just me and you
Girl I wish you knew

[Hook]
I wish that you knew that you were on my mind
I wish that you knew that you take all my time
I wish you see the little things I do
I wish that you knew how lost I am in you

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
