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”
So it's sad this doesn't suit you now and me fresh out of rope
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me and make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck, wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot, I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised, do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you
We're wrecking and I'm dry like a drum
When you scream so fine, I'll leave
We're spending, take our time and trials measured in miles
We slave for days and weeks
It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect lies from a perfect dame
If I could choose, it's only you
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me and make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck, wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot, I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised, do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you
We're wrecking and I'm dry like a drum
When you scream so fine, I'll leave
We're spending, take our time and trials measured in miles
We slave for days and weeks
It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect lies from a perfect dame
If I could choose, it's only you

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is a really beautiful song of theirs. This and Soco Amaretto lime are my favorite brand new songs. I could listen to it over and over.
