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.
Close my eyes
Didn't want to see
Believe the lies
You said to me
She played a game
I played along
But now I know
I was not the only one
She treated me
Just like a fool
I was in love you
Share my soul
The way you touched
I never knew before
Can't ask you out
Don't close the door
I want to feel you
I want to touch you
I want to feel you
By my side
Love is
Love is blind
Don't you know
It's a state of mind
Love is
Love is blind
Love is blind, baby
Didn't know
But you never life
But something told me
I was right inside
Things you said
They felt so good
They ask your brain was
Oh was so cute
But then I got
Behind the scene
I want to go
But I can't leave
The way you touched
I never knew before
Can't ask you out now
Don't close the door
I want to feel you
I want to touch you
I want to feel you
By my side
Love is
Love is blind
Don't you know
It's a state of mind
Love is
Love is blind
Love is blind, baby
Love is
Love is blind
Love is
Love is blind
Didn't want to see
Believe the lies
You said to me
She played a game
I played along
But now I know
I was not the only one
She treated me
Just like a fool
I was in love you
Share my soul
The way you touched
I never knew before
Can't ask you out
Don't close the door
I want to feel you
I want to touch you
I want to feel you
By my side
Love is
Love is blind
Don't you know
It's a state of mind
Love is
Love is blind
Love is blind, baby
Didn't know
But you never life
But something told me
I was right inside
Things you said
They felt so good
They ask your brain was
Oh was so cute
But then I got
Behind the scene
I want to go
But I can't leave
The way you touched
I never knew before
Can't ask you out now
Don't close the door
I want to feel you
I want to touch you
I want to feel you
By my side
Love is
Love is blind
Don't you know
It's a state of mind
Love is
Love is blind
Love is blind, baby
Love is
Love is blind
Love is
Love is blind

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
