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”
Do you ever feel like you can't do nothing right?
Feeling so repetitive as your days turn to nights
You're organized, you had it straight - you watched it collapse
Stuck inside this fu*king game where nothing seems to match
I live my life in circles
I run around in circles
I live my life - full circle
I run around - full circle
I live my life - full circle
I'm wasting my life circling around
You bit the bullet cause you thought you gave it all you got
The people that you knew and loved left you to rot
You fought and fought refusing to give in
Stuck inside a pointless game you know you can't win
I live my life in circles
I run around in circles
I live my life - full circle
I run around - full circle
I live my life - full circle
I'm wasting my life circling around
Everyday I wake up and go to the same shitty job with the same dead beat boss for the same low wages.
Too tall, too fat, too ugly, that's who I am.
She's the only girl I ever truly loved until she met him.
80 thousand dollars for an education and they say sorry kid you don't have enough experience.
You can be whatever you want when you grow up?
Why me, why does this always happen to me?
Did you see how much they took out of my paycheck, how am I going to pay these bills?
America only promises you the pursuit of happiness, not the chance to get it.
All those times you told me what to do
As nothing changed I thought maybe I'm the fool
I stand alone but I'm still coming back
I played your game and now I'm back on track
I live my life - full circle
I run around - full circle
I live my life - full circle
I'm wasting my life circling around
Feeling so repetitive as your days turn to nights
You're organized, you had it straight - you watched it collapse
Stuck inside this fu*king game where nothing seems to match
I live my life in circles
I run around in circles
I live my life - full circle
I run around - full circle
I live my life - full circle
I'm wasting my life circling around
You bit the bullet cause you thought you gave it all you got
The people that you knew and loved left you to rot
You fought and fought refusing to give in
Stuck inside a pointless game you know you can't win
I live my life in circles
I run around in circles
I live my life - full circle
I run around - full circle
I live my life - full circle
I'm wasting my life circling around
Everyday I wake up and go to the same shitty job with the same dead beat boss for the same low wages.
Too tall, too fat, too ugly, that's who I am.
She's the only girl I ever truly loved until she met him.
80 thousand dollars for an education and they say sorry kid you don't have enough experience.
You can be whatever you want when you grow up?
Why me, why does this always happen to me?
Did you see how much they took out of my paycheck, how am I going to pay these bills?
America only promises you the pursuit of happiness, not the chance to get it.
All those times you told me what to do
As nothing changed I thought maybe I'm the fool
I stand alone but I'm still coming back
I played your game and now I'm back on track
I live my life - full circle
I run around - full circle
I live my life - full circle
I'm wasting my life circling around

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
during the bridges different voices say these lines in the background: "Everyday I wake up and go to the same shitty job, for the same deadbeat boss, for the same lame ass wages." "Too tall, too old, too fat, too young, too ugly, thats who I am." "She was the only girl I ever truely loved, nothing could come between us until she met him." "80,000 dollars for an education and they say, 'sorry kid you dont have enough experience.'" "You could be whatever you want when you grow up." "Why me, why does this always happen to me?" "Did you see how much they took out of my paycheck, how do I pay these bills?" "America only promises you the pursuit of happiness, not the chance to get it."
