In one more hour, I will be gone
In one more hour, I'll leave this room
The dress you wore, the pretty shoes
Are things I left behind for you

Oh, you've got the darkest eyes
Oh, you've got the darkest eyes
I need it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I need it (I never wanted to let it, let it go)
Oh, I need it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I need it (I never wanted to let it, let it go)

If you could talk what would you say
For you things were just night and day
Take off the dress, take off the face
I'll hold you close before I leave

Oh, you've got the darkest eyes
Oh, you've got the darkest eyes
I need it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I need it (it's so hard for you to let it go)
I need it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I need it (it's so hard for you to let it go)
I need it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, oh, I need it (it's so hard to say goodbye)
I need it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, oh, I needed it (you need a little bit, a little more time)

Don't say another word
About the other girl
Don't say another word
About the other girl

I needed it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I need it (it's so hard for you to let it go)
I need it (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I need it (I never wanted to let it go, let it go)

    Both carrie and corin have stated that, yes this song was written about their break-up, and they both identify as bisexual. Janet and corin are both married to some fine dudes, and carrie is off exploring the world and its peeps through the beautiful social commentary that is Porlandia! But for all of us who just want to harmlessly ship those girls... I think they are musical soulmates. S-K is the most beautiful love child I ever did see. I think we've been given more than we could ever ask for from those girls!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
