I've never been so happy to see a photograph of me
Then when graced with your company.
You're making a small change to the way
That you wear your heart.
I like it better, I like it, I like it better now

[Chorus]
I'll swing from a streetlight
And sing oh, oh, oh
I'm stuck in the meantime
But we're so, oh close

The sunlight is overwhelming the scene that is
Composed of you and me in our finest moment.
An amazing illusion was made with trick photography
It seems like you're really, you're really,
It feels like you're really here.

[Chorus]

As I'm grilled by a spotlight
I'll sing oh, oh, oh
And the thrill of a good fight
Is we are so, oh close.

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,

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.
