This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don't show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow
Daddy's on the mountain yellin' at the bloody sky
Mama's in the mirror actin' out another life
Children in the schoolyard singin' "everybody dies"
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
Clap
All hail to death's boy-wonder
JJ's in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo's thowin' Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
Tempermental yogis bakin' merry weather pie
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Sometimes said it's sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
And everyone I've known held my hands till they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion
Now Jadey's on the mountain singing "We will never die"
The band is in the rainbow playin' love for you and I
Heath is riding shotgun aimin' at the paper sky
And I am only "I am" now I've opened up my eye
I am only "I am" that I've opened up my eye
Sometimes said its sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah comin' to ya
Rain or shine
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
All the same its conscience waiting
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don't show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow
Daddy's on the mountain yellin' at the bloody sky
Mama's in the mirror actin' out another life
Children in the schoolyard singin' "everybody dies"
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
Clap
All hail to death's boy-wonder
JJ's in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo's thowin' Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
Tempermental yogis bakin' merry weather pie
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Sometimes said it's sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
And everyone I've known held my hands till they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion
Now Jadey's on the mountain singing "We will never die"
The band is in the rainbow playin' love for you and I
Heath is riding shotgun aimin' at the paper sky
And I am only "I am" now I've opened up my eye
I am only "I am" that I've opened up my eye
Sometimes said its sun time
Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah comin' to ya
Rain or shine
All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line
All the same its conscience waiting

Little Feat
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,
American Town

Ed Sheeran
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.
To me this is saying that In spite of all the complex highbrow philosophical & artistic doodling on death, the only real thing we need to concern ourselves with is how we deal with the conscience we are left with on our death bed or beyond (across the line) . The rest is superfluous ego driven diversion.
