Again
I lay awake
And I cried because of waste
I'd love to
But only with you
Only with you
Oh, time is gonna wipe us out
There, I've said it loud and clear
So that you will hear
There's no one in view
Just you
Just you
And time will never wipe you out
Now I've had enough
I've had more than could be
My rightful share
Of nights I can't bear
How can it be fair?
Time must wipe them out
So, again, I lay awake
In a trance
Oh, I just want my chance
But only with you
Only with you
That's all
That's all
I lay awake
And I cried because of waste
I'd love to
But only with you
Only with you
Oh, time is gonna wipe us out
There, I've said it loud and clear
So that you will hear
There's no one in view
Just you
Just you
And time will never wipe you out
Now I've had enough
I've had more than could be
My rightful share
Of nights I can't bear
How can it be fair?
Time must wipe them out
So, again, I lay awake
In a trance
Oh, I just want my chance
But only with you
Only with you
That's all
That's all

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”

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.

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,
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Well, it reperesents most nights i spend alone. Isn't it werid that there are so many Mozza fans of both sexes who feel the same way and never meet, really shit eh?
I think this song is more of an ache of hidden love. The waste is his love, all the love he can give. But without the acceptance of his love, it goes to waste like unpicked fruit on a tree. All those gifts hes willing to give die in waste. The first time he says "time must wipe us out" I think refers to the idea of him and her together and he cant be having that. With time, that needs to fade because Its not going to happen. Eventually his emotions get out and its clear how he feels. The only person he sees is her. And regardless of what he does, time cant erase how he feels. He will always suffer. In the third verse is where he becomes exhausted. Hanging on trying only leaves him wallowing in the pain that this desire brings. Hes suffered greatly, and to him its becoming too much. Once again he hopes time will release him. In the end though, still all he wants is his chance.
maybe it should be third line "and i cried because of ways" i think that's better and makes more sense.
it is 'waste', I think it says so in the lyric sheet of the compilation My Burglary Years. And IMO it's the opposite, it makes more sense that way. When you are spending every night dreaming of someone and feeling so much love and desire, which remains unconsummated - it is a terrible waste, isn't it?
I think this is a really beautiful, romantic and heartbreaking song, one of the most moving love songs he ever wrote. I can totally relate to it.
My favorite Morrissey song. Sums up everything he is.
i'm convinced this song is about sex. not in a dirty way, but it's common knowledge/suspicion about morrissey's celebacy, and he's saying i'd love to (actually have sex) but only with you. i don;t think he's talking to a specific person but the vision of his dream woman. as in he wants to have sex with the perfect woman. thats wot it means to me anyway.
I agree with MEATISMURDER. I dont exactly know why but something in the way he sings the lyrics tells me he's talking about sex, or at least about being with somebody, having a relationship.
