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”
So where are you going?
Not asking where you have been,
I see this reason is growing,
I'm asking you to give in.
So is this what you call home?
Is this what you think you've done right?
So is this what you call love?
My Savior's in sight.
I will wait for you to understand,
I will take your hand,
My God is ever true.
Too many times I've gone astray,
Too many days have passed away.
You never asked me to repay the price you paid.
You'll see the person you're supposed to be.
So you say it's okay, you've called my name,
He lived and ided for all and everything.
Love is in store, this is an open door.
Cut the lights out, down out and on the floor,
This love is just like an open door,
He is waiting right here,
This is your chance to step inside.
He is right here waiting,
Lose your lifetime debating.
What you thought was right has been wrong all this time.
This is a gift to you. Unwrap your life.
Not asking where you have been,
I see this reason is growing,
I'm asking you to give in.
So is this what you call home?
Is this what you think you've done right?
So is this what you call love?
My Savior's in sight.
I will wait for you to understand,
I will take your hand,
My God is ever true.
Too many times I've gone astray,
Too many days have passed away.
You never asked me to repay the price you paid.
You'll see the person you're supposed to be.
So you say it's okay, you've called my name,
He lived and ided for all and everything.
Love is in store, this is an open door.
Cut the lights out, down out and on the floor,
This love is just like an open door,
He is waiting right here,
This is your chance to step inside.
He is right here waiting,
Lose your lifetime debating.
What you thought was right has been wrong all this time.
This is a gift to you. Unwrap your life.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
Actually there is a genre called screamo. Attack Attack are not part of it though.
