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”
Calm down, she said,
Consider this a warning,
A souvenir for the morning,
A headache that you can't fix.
I said I can talk my,
My way out of anything,
But I am struggling,
In this emergency.
This one's on your side,
I said this one's on your
Ambulance,
I'm calling you now,
Accidents,
Bring the house down.
Come on, come on,
You don't know me.
Come on, come on,
You owe me nothing.
Dry your eyes and,
Stick them on ice.
Give your chest a rest it's,
Been cold your whole life.
I'll have you know the table's,
Are about to turn and,
You're going to get,
What, what, what,
You deserve.
Ambulance,
I'm calling you now,
Accidents,
Bring the house down.
Come on, come on,
You don't know me.
Come on, come on,
You owe me nothing.
And is this it my love?
(Turn it up, turn it up, I wanna hear you scream)
Oh, is this it my love?
(Turn it up, turn it up, I wanna hear you scream)
Sing, I am my own worst enemy,
That's what she said to me.
And I am living out your dream.
So sing, I am my own worst enemy,
So we can just breathe,
A little more safely.

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,

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
The official lyrics were just released on their Myspace. I have updated them accordingly :) They were quite different.
