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”
All depending on the future of a conflict
Your open-minded muscles never wanted anyone who would deliver such a blow into the system,
Part of you thinks it's over now, but part of you knows that you're a quitter.
You've got yours and I got mine
You got yours and I've got mind
You bought yours and I've got time
You want yours and you want mine now.
Then you start to ask me why
It's an offer that I mind
And you start to ask me twice
As you say your memory's fine
And it's something I should try
But you should try to live your life
When the days keep passing by...
You want me to get high with you
You want me to get loded
You want me to get by with you
You want me to get loded
So I called a friend an ear to lend
Who said "what is what?"
And one day tried to get me high
That I don't mind
But I know a man should understand
What is weight, decisions made?
Can often change your mind
Until you get high
Life is hinging on the shoulders of a convict
You did your time and then the judge decided
You were fine
But when the choice arises you decided death from life again
You got yours and I got mine
You got yours and I've got mind
You lost yours now I've got time
You want yours and you want mine now
If you want to hate me, fine!
Have a superficial time
As the center in you dies
You were searching for that high
When the poison burned your mind
You were warned a million times
Still you wanted to get me high
You want to me to get high with you?
You want me to get loded
You want me to get high like you?
You want me to get loded
You want me, you want me, you want me
You warned me you want me, you want me
Do you want me to get high with you, to get low?
Your open-minded muscles never wanted anyone who would deliver such a blow into the system,
Part of you thinks it's over now, but part of you knows that you're a quitter.
You've got yours and I got mine
You got yours and I've got mind
You bought yours and I've got time
You want yours and you want mine now.
Then you start to ask me why
It's an offer that I mind
And you start to ask me twice
As you say your memory's fine
And it's something I should try
But you should try to live your life
When the days keep passing by...
You want me to get high with you
You want me to get loded
You want me to get by with you
You want me to get loded
So I called a friend an ear to lend
Who said "what is what?"
And one day tried to get me high
That I don't mind
But I know a man should understand
What is weight, decisions made?
Can often change your mind
Until you get high
Life is hinging on the shoulders of a convict
You did your time and then the judge decided
You were fine
But when the choice arises you decided death from life again
You got yours and I got mine
You got yours and I've got mind
You lost yours now I've got time
You want yours and you want mine now
If you want to hate me, fine!
Have a superficial time
As the center in you dies
You were searching for that high
When the poison burned your mind
You were warned a million times
Still you wanted to get me high
You want to me to get high with you?
You want me to get loded
You want me to get high like you?
You want me to get loded
You want me, you want me, you want me
You warned me you want me, you want me
Do you want me to get high with you, to get low?

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
What I'm reading from the song is it seems like a song after J started putting his life together. Some of his less than scrupulous friends continue to call him and ask him to go get high with them. And he declines, and that itself is fine for the thought of asking. However, these friend/s it seems are drug fiends who aren't doing anything with their life other than getting high. It's almost as that is all they're doing. So, getting high with them would also be counterproductive to what he is currently trying to accomplish.
