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.
The irony of life
it is so messed up
everytime I find what I want
I have to give it up
so I guess we will never be
because
Liz we are two worlds apart
and maybe someday
our worlds will collide together
and we can be
just you and me
together, forever
under the stars
our worlds are different in many ways
in mine it is always grey
in yours it is bright and sunny
in mine i sleep in the rain
you always feel the cool wind
blowing on your face
Liz we are two worlds apart
and maybe someday
our worlds will collide together
and we can be
just you and me
together, forever
under the stars
nah nah nah nah nah...
Gravity pull us in
we are drifting
i see you floating away
come back
i can't spend another day in this world
i just can't live
without your warmth on my face
and your smile that blocks the rain
but
Liz we are two worlds apart
and maybe someday
our worlds will collide together
and we can be
just you and me
together, forever
under the stars
it is so messed up
everytime I find what I want
I have to give it up
so I guess we will never be
because
Liz we are two worlds apart
and maybe someday
our worlds will collide together
and we can be
just you and me
together, forever
under the stars
our worlds are different in many ways
in mine it is always grey
in yours it is bright and sunny
in mine i sleep in the rain
you always feel the cool wind
blowing on your face
Liz we are two worlds apart
and maybe someday
our worlds will collide together
and we can be
just you and me
together, forever
under the stars
nah nah nah nah nah...
Gravity pull us in
we are drifting
i see you floating away
come back
i can't spend another day in this world
i just can't live
without your warmth on my face
and your smile that blocks the rain
but
Liz we are two worlds apart
and maybe someday
our worlds will collide together
and we can be
just you and me
together, forever
under the stars

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,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.

Punchline
