The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
May ibang lungkot
Akong nakikita sa iyong mata
Di mo man sinsabi
May ibang galaw
Na di maipaliwanag ng isip ko
Kahit ano pang isipin
Sawa ka na yata
May iba na bang nakita
Isa lang naman ang aking hiling
Pag ayaw mo na
Sabihin mo lang
Di ko matitiis na
Ikaw pang mahirapan
Kase, pag ayaw mo na
Ako nang lilisan
Di rin magtatagal
Pag ayaw mo na nga
Mga titig mo
Wala na ang tamis tulad noon
Di ka na gaya ng dati
Wala na ang lambing
Ng pagtawag mo sa pangalan ko
Di kita masisisi
Sawa ka na yata
May iba na bang nakita
Isa lang naman ang aking hiling
Pag ayaw mo na
Sabihin mo lang
Di ko matitiis na
Ikaw pang mahirapan
Kase, pag ayaw mo na
Ako nang lilisan
Di rin magtatagal
Pag ayaw mo na nga
Tinatanong sa sarili
Nagkulang pa ba ako
Basta't ang alam ko ay
Ginawa kong lahat
Basta't para sayo
Pag ayaw mo na
Sabihin mo lang
Di ko matitiis na
Ikaw pang mahirapan
Kase, pag ayaw mo na
Ako nang lilisan
Di rin magtatagal
Pag ayaw mo na
Sabihin mo lang
Di ko matitiis na
Ikaw pang mahirapan
Kase, pag ayaw mo na
Ako nang lilisan
Di rin magtatagal
Pag ayaw mo na nga
Ayaw mo na
Ayaw mo na ba
Pag ayaw mo na
Ayaw mo na
Ayaw mo na ba
Ayaw mo na ba
Akong nakikita sa iyong mata
Di mo man sinsabi
May ibang galaw
Na di maipaliwanag ng isip ko
Kahit ano pang isipin
Sawa ka na yata
May iba na bang nakita
Isa lang naman ang aking hiling
Pag ayaw mo na
Sabihin mo lang
Di ko matitiis na
Ikaw pang mahirapan
Kase, pag ayaw mo na
Ako nang lilisan
Di rin magtatagal
Pag ayaw mo na nga
Mga titig mo
Wala na ang tamis tulad noon
Di ka na gaya ng dati
Wala na ang lambing

Di rin magtatagal
Pag ayaw mo na nga
Ayaw mo na
Ayaw mo na ba
Pag ayaw mo na
Ayaw mo na
Ayaw mo na ba
Ayaw mo na ba

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.

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.
Plastic Bag

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.
