In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
it's just you and me now
no cares in the world
we won the war
we killed them all
it's just you and me now
we stand here alone
and let's just hope
we don't get bored
of each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
it's just you and me now
we watched from afar
what's left to do?
i wish you knew
it's just you and me now
we'll ride
to our place
but let's just hope
we don't get bored
of each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
no cares in the world
we won the war
we killed them all
it's just you and me now
we stand here alone
and let's just hope
we don't get bored
of each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
it's just you and me now
we watched from afar
what's left to do?
i wish you knew
it's just you and me now
we'll ride
to our place
but let's just hope
we don't get bored
of each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other
let's just hope we don't get bored of each other
each other

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.

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.
In my opinion this is describing two people who have gone through a lot to be together - maybe escaping from somewhere, losing friends, etc. And they're just hoping that they won't stop loving each other else whatever they did will be for nothing.
