This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this god damn mess
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you
I wrote a list of my demands, but I left it at a friend's
I rehearsed a little speech, but the whole thing got too preachy
So it seems like I'm back on scratch again
I read a magazine last night, all our issues came to light
I memorized it piece by piece, but I guess it's not that easy
Now it seems like I'm back on scratch again
And it seems like in all the fighting we're losing sight
And it feels like all this time we once were tight
And it seems like we're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this god damn mess...
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this god damn mess...
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you
I met you never asking sheer advice, to wise up and to make nice
I always thought she was a bore, but then that's another story
And I feel like I'm back on scratch again
And at this show the other night I met your friend the skinny guy
I swear he tried to make a pass, I guess he never was too classy
And I feel like I'm back on scratch again
And it seems like in all the fighting we're losing sight
And it feels like all this time we once were tight
And it seems like we're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess...
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you
If we can't reconcile then can we just not fight?
Every second that you're gone I want you by my side
Another minute with you not around, I just might lose my mind
Was I wrong all the while or were you just not right?
We're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose you
And I just wish this god damn mess
We could try and play it cool when it's going down
I don't wanna fight
Can we call a truce? We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight, to lose 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,

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.
Beautiful song. I love it. I love the strings. The #1 song on my iPod (it was played over 200 times). Helps me fall asleep.
Pretty simple: a couple is drifting apart because they are constantly fighting. They are trying to figure out how to make it work.
This can apply to all sorts of relationships - romantic or friendship. There is a point when you don't know how to make it work. There is something going on and you want to find a solution, but it seems like nothing is working. Sometimes, you don't even know why it's not working and reminisce about how good it used to be.
