Nah, nah, nah
Nah, this, this can't be true

I got this feeling and I just can't turn it loose
That somebody's been getting next to you
I don't want to walk around knowin' I was your fool
'Cause being the man that I am
I just can't lose my cool

My friends keep telling me about the things that's going on, babe
But deep in my heart, baby, I hope that I'm wrong
Yes, I hope that I'm wrong but I know it, babe

Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby (my bed, my bed)
Somebody's takin' my place (baby)
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
And you know just what I mean, ohh

I come home early expecting your warm embrace
But something is wrong 'cause it's written all over your face
It hurt so bad when I walked through the door
But 'cha know one damn thing, baby, I ain't coming back no more
No, no, no
Now don't try to tell me things are still the same, yeah
'Cause when we made love
I heard you call out his name, call out his name

Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby (tonight, baby)
Somebody's takin' my place (Sisqo's place, yeah)
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
Somebody's takin' my place, yeah

Girl, I want you to know
Gave you money and every little thing that you need
I gave you the world (yes, I did)
'Cause you were my girl (ooh, yes, I did)
But you still ran out on me, oh, yeah

Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
(Said you're sleeping in my bed)
(Messin' with my head, ooh)
Somebody's takin' my place (baby, ooh)
Tell me why, oh, why, oh, why
Why, oh, why, oh, why
(Why, oh, why, oh why, oh, why, oh, who, who, oh, why)
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
(I said you're sleeping in my bed)
(Messin' with my head)
Somebody's takin' my place (whoa, yeah)

Now if you truly love me (alright)
Then this would not be happenin'
Sleepin' in my bed, messin' with my head
Oh, no, no, no, no (somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby)
Gotta let you go, yes I do, baby, babe
Somebody's takin' my place
Why'd you do it to me? Why'd you do it?
I don't wanna be a fool no more
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
Somebody's takin' my place

    This song's about cheating. My brother's best friend was married for 6 years and just found out his wife has been having an affair for about 5. He's in a bad state. It's a horrible feeling.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
