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.
Mmm, baby face
You've got the cutest little, mmm, baby fa-ace
There's not another who could, mmm, take your pla-ace
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You start my heart a jumpin'
You sure have started somethin'
Mmm, baby face
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your warm embra-a-ace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I -
I fell in lo-ove with that cute little
Ah little baby face
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You've got the sweet little
Mmm - baby fa-ace
There's not another who could take your place
Mmm, hmm baby face
You start my heart a jumpin'
You sure have started somethin'
Mmm, baby fa-ace
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your warm embra-a-a-a-ace
I didn't need your help, 'cause I -
I fell in lo-ove with a cute little, mmm, baby face
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You got the sweetest little, a-baby face
I'm up in heaven with your baby face
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You sure have started somethin'
You start my heart a jumpin'
Mmm, baby face
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your warm embra-a-a-a-ace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I fell in lo-ove
With your sweet little baby fa-a-a-a-ace
You've got the cutest little, mmm, baby fa-ace
There's not another who could, mmm, take your pla-ace
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You start my heart a jumpin'
You sure have started somethin'
Mmm, baby face
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your warm embra-a-ace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I -
I fell in lo-ove with that cute little
Ah little baby face
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You've got the sweet little
Mmm - baby fa-ace
There's not another who could take your place
Mmm, hmm baby face
You start my heart a jumpin'
You sure have started somethin'
Mmm, baby fa-ace
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your warm embra-a-a-a-ace
I didn't need your help, 'cause I -
I fell in lo-ove with a cute little, mmm, baby face
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You got the sweetest little, a-baby face
I'm up in heaven with your baby face
Mmm, baby fa-ace
You sure have started somethin'
You start my heart a jumpin'
Mmm, baby face
I'm up in heaven
When I'm in your warm embra-a-a-a-ace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I fell in lo-ove
With your sweet little baby fa-a-a-a-ace

Yo La Tengo
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,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.
