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.
I bet your window is rolled down and your hair is pulled back
And I bet you got no idea you are going way too fast
You try not to think about what went wrong
You try not to stop, do you get where are you going?
You try to stay away so I bet you turn on the radio
And the song goes
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade baby, baby
Há em mim um grito de paz
Há em mim quem te amou demais
Há em mim alguém que você desejou
Eu sou, eu sou
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you are coming home
But I do, I do
Às vezes quando ouço o seu nome ou algo assim
E me vejo inventar uma desculpa pra mim
You're tryin' not to left the first two fall out
Tryin' not to think about turning around
You're tryin' not to get lost in the sound
But that song is always on, so you sing along
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby, baby
Há em mim um grito de paz
Há em mim quem te amou demais
Há em mim alguém que você desejou
Eu sou, eu sou
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you are coming home
But I do, I do
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby, baby
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby (the highway don't care, the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby, baby (the highway don't care, but I do, I do)
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby (the highway don't care, the highway don't care)
(The highway don't care, the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby, baby (the highway don't care, but I do, I do)
Fale a verdade (the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade (the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby (the highway don't care)
(But I do, I do)
And I bet you got no idea you are going way too fast
You try not to think about what went wrong
You try not to stop, do you get where are you going?
You try to stay away so I bet you turn on the radio
And the song goes
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade baby, baby
Há em mim um grito de paz
Há em mim quem te amou demais
Há em mim alguém que você desejou
Eu sou, eu sou
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you are coming home
But I do, I do
Às vezes quando ouço o seu nome ou algo assim
E me vejo inventar uma desculpa pra mim
You're tryin' not to left the first two fall out
Tryin' not to think about turning around
You're tryin' not to get lost in the sound

Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby, baby

(But I do, I do)

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
