This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Funny how you can go on livin'
And lose the simple knack of givin'
It slips away before ya know it's gone
Ya build up walls and before ya know it
Someone moves you and you want to show it
But you just can't find a way of lettin' on
I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long
Funny how you can cut off feelin'
And tell yourself your wounds are healing
When all you've done is turn the pain inside
And when your sure no one can get to ya
Someone smiles and it goes right through ya
And wakes up somethin' that you thought had died
I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
And lose the simple knack of givin'
It slips away before ya know it's gone
Ya build up walls and before ya know it
Someone moves you and you want to show it
But you just can't find a way of lettin' on
I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long
Funny how you can cut off feelin'
And tell yourself your wounds are healing
When all you've done is turn the pain inside
And when your sure no one can get to ya
Someone smiles and it goes right through ya
And wakes up somethin' that you thought had died
I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

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.
