I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Things like this don't happen to me
Everything used to be so ordinary
From the day that I met you
Everything's changed
Feel like I'm dreaming with my eyes open wide
Baby you make me feel so good inside
What you've done to me is kinda hard to explain
Like standin' in Times Square on New Year's Eve
And no one is around
Like lookin up on a summer's day
And seein' snowflakes fallin' down
Like danicin' on the Brooklyn bridge by perfect candlelight
That's how you make me feel every time you say you're mine.
Mm mm
It seems like just yesterday
That I didn't even know your name
And now I cant imagine life without you here, my dear
What you do to me
Its something new to me, yeah
All I'm tryin to say is every time you're near
It's like standin' in Times Square on New Year's Eve
And no one is around
Like lookin up on a summer's day
And seein' snowflakes fallin' down
Like danicin' on the Brooklyn bridge by perfect candlelight
That's how you make me feel every time you say you're mine.
Mm
And everyday it feels like I'm falling in love with you again
It gets better every time
And the lights of the city they fall all around me
They cant make me feel like this
'Cause nothing compares to dancing with you on the Brooklyn bridge
Mm mm mm
It's like standin' in Times Square on New Year's Eve
And no one is around
Like lookin up on a summer's day
And seein' snowflakes fallin' down
Like danicin' on the Brooklyn bridge by perfect candlelight
That's how you make me feel every time you say you're mine.
Mm mm
Everything used to be so ordinary
From the day that I met you
Everything's changed
Feel like I'm dreaming with my eyes open wide
Baby you make me feel so good inside
What you've done to me is kinda hard to explain
Like standin' in Times Square on New Year's Eve
And no one is around
Like lookin up on a summer's day
And seein' snowflakes fallin' down
Like danicin' on the Brooklyn bridge by perfect candlelight
That's how you make me feel every time you say you're mine.
Mm mm

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.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
