This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I can see you standing, waiting, waiting to go
There's nothing doing, no-one talking, nothing to show
A look in the eye, a way to decide, to work out what's right
Cos it's easy to slide on the move all the time
I'm sorry I've not made the space to write
The words never match up the thoughts on my mind
It's not that I'm leaving, it's just things are changing
I hope you're holding up
I don't see you too much
I can see you standing, waiting to go
There's doing, no-one talking, nothing to show
I still think it work, the words that we spoke to fix what we broke
Looking for reasons, it's hard to see
Would I change this for you? Or change this for me?
There's nothing doing, no-one talking, nothing to show
A look in the eye, a way to decide, to work out what's right
Cos it's easy to slide on the move all the time
I'm sorry I've not made the space to write
The words never match up the thoughts on my mind
It's not that I'm leaving, it's just things are changing
I hope you're holding up
I don't see you too much
I can see you standing, waiting to go
There's doing, no-one talking, nothing to show
I still think it work, the words that we spoke to fix what we broke
Looking for reasons, it's hard to see
Would I change this for you? Or change this for me?

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”

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.
I wrote a huge comment, but then, mindless as I am, I accidentally hit clear instead of add comment. Now I will give you a very shortened version of the comment. I think it's about being in a relationship, could be romantic or friendship, that is dying, because you are very busy. You realize you haven't been doing much to maintain the relationship, and you don't want to lose it, but on the other hand, in order to maintain the relationship you will have to sacrifice something you value very much (possibly a career in music?). You feel sorry for not having stayed in touch, and also find yourself unable to communicate your thoughts/feelings to the other person ("I'm sorry I've not made the space to write, the words never match up the thoughts on my mind" I know exactly how that feels haha). You don't want to leave the relationship, but things are changing, which causes the relationship to change too. In the end you have to decide if it's worth it to sacrifice the thing(s) you value for the relationship (change this for you) or that you sacrifice the relationship for what you want (change it for me). These are just part of my thoughts on the song.. I could be wrong.
Corrections in the lyrics: the ed after work is missing (so it should be i still think it worked) and the last line should be change it for me, instead of change this for me.
yeah i agree, this is a very good song. its meaning kind of obvious but the interpretions given is quite specific
