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”
Does it come in cages?
Does it come in threes?
Shipping on our time
Shipping on our seas
Never the carpet
Never the key
Art can fail you
Not for me to believe
And I won't be leavin'
And everyone can see
There's a dirty cheque stub
I know, I know they're free
And from all the fuckups
Lies to its knees
Their heels are burning
So eat a piece or three
But I don't really want to think about those things anymore
No, I really don't want to think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I die when I think about those things
Was it central mavens?
Was it making me itch?
The kitchens, the kitchens comes
The future, the future creams
And I'll be sailing
But missing the cheese
Time this hour
So far we're free
And we're all connected
As anyone can see
Get it all connected
Know what I mean?
And they love the doctors
For their shabby knees
I was struck from the outside
Looking for my fleas
But I don't really want to think about those things anymore
I really don't want to think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I die when I think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I really don't want to think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I die when I think about those things
Is it super connected?
It's time to leave
Is it super connected?
It's time to leave
Super connected
Does it come in threes?
Shipping on our time
Shipping on our seas
Never the carpet
Never the key
Art can fail you
Not for me to believe
And I won't be leavin'
And everyone can see
There's a dirty cheque stub
I know, I know they're free
And from all the fuckups
Lies to its knees
Their heels are burning
So eat a piece or three
But I don't really want to think about those things anymore
No, I really don't want to think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I die when I think about those things
Was it central mavens?
Was it making me itch?
The kitchens, the kitchens comes
The future, the future creams
And I'll be sailing
But missing the cheese
Time this hour
So far we're free
And we're all connected
As anyone can see
Get it all connected
Know what I mean?
And they love the doctors
For their shabby knees
I was struck from the outside
Looking for my fleas
But I don't really want to think about those things anymore
I really don't want to think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I die when I think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I really don't want to think about those things
I really don't want to think about those things anymore
I die when I think about those things
Is it super connected?
It's time to leave
Is it super connected?
It's time to leave
Super connected

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
these lyrics are a bit off. here's a slightly closer transcription:
Does it come in cages Does it come in threes Trippin all over town Trippin like I’m seized Never the Car ride Never the key I’ve always been failing Minding my me And they wanna believe it And they wanna conceive There’s a difference in texture I know it about me
And they wanna love this Right between the knees Get a little bit bloody What does that have to do with me
(the “those things” part)
Was I searchin for maybe’s Was I makin believe Get you a preacher’s car Get you a preacher’s creed I’ve never been sailing Never messed with the sea How typical is that It’s there for you and me And they wanna connect it And they wanna conceive Get it all connected With you and you and me
Now I’ve no forgiveness Oops, what’s happened to me I was talking about something I can’t believe
(Those thing)
I really shoulda thought those things a little more And I didn’t think about those things
Is it superconnected Time to leave
