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”

Take to the heaaaaaaaaaaaad
And buy another round
Are you down?
(Pharrell - whispering)
All that huffing puffing that you do
You got somethin' on your mind
All that rocking that you do
You got somethin' on your mind
I can tell by the way you move
You got somethin' on your mind
It seem like you got somethin' to prove
You got somethin' on your mind
We got a connection, some synergy
Ain't no other woman please, it's just you
Somewhere intersection, I feel energy
It's like tingling, it must be true - that's because
You're my temple, get on my knees
And I come to you, yes I come to you
It's just that simple, your lovin' heat
Like the sun would do, is why I run to you
(Pharrell - whispering)
{UHHH!} Yeah
I like bush (take your panties off)
You're in motion in the mirror as a rainbow dandelion
I suspect you know what it does when I see yo' pantyline
All that lotion in your hands
You got somethin' on your mind
And all that fixin in your pants
You got somethin' on your mind
(Pharrell)
Yeah, I know you had, your ups and downs
But look at you girl, you're on top now
You're so attractive, it's so magnetic (I'm attracted to you)
This thang is gettin' deeper, now do you get it?

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
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/
