This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Cat in the upstairs window
Staring down at me
Life seems to have a purpose
When you're wandering aimlessly
In the meantime
What am I missing
I'm missing out
In the meantime
I will be living
There is no meantime
There is only now
Is there something I'm supposed to be doing
If there is I just don't know
Tell me so that I can disobey
The rules were meant to bend and change
If we're not so tight
We won't break when we fall
Waiting around all day
They didn't make the play
Don't get mad you'll only get madder
It's hard to get even when things don't matter
Stop the tape playing
Mundane chatter and leave
In between the place you thought
You'd be and where you are
Check my pulse if I'm living
Fine time to be alive
Feel the breeze, touch the water
I'll feel better
There's no way I'd rather pass the time
Wandering aimlessly
Staring down at me
Life seems to have a purpose
When you're wandering aimlessly
In the meantime
What am I missing
I'm missing out
In the meantime
I will be living
There is no meantime
There is only now
Is there something I'm supposed to be doing
If there is I just don't know
Tell me so that I can disobey
The rules were meant to bend and change
If we're not so tight
We won't break when we fall
Waiting around all day
They didn't make the play
Don't get mad you'll only get madder
It's hard to get even when things don't matter
Stop the tape playing
Mundane chatter and leave
In between the place you thought
You'd be and where you are
Check my pulse if I'm living
Fine time to be alive
Feel the breeze, touch the water
I'll feel better
There's no way I'd rather pass the time
Wandering aimlessly

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.

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This is my theme song!
