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 could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love (in love) with you
I could fall in love (in love) with you (baby)
I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still? (baby, will you want me?)
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love (in love) with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love (in love) with you (baby)
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazándome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podía amar a ti
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love (in love) with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love (in love) with you (with you baby)
I could fall in love (fall in love)
I could fall in love (fall in love)
With you (you baby)
I could fall, fall in love (in love) with you (I could fall in love with you)
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love (in love) with you
I could fall in love (in love) with you (baby)
I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still? (baby, will you want me?)
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love (in love) with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love (in love) with you (baby)
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazándome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podía amar a ti
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love (in love) with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love (in love) with you (with you baby)
I could fall in love (fall in love)
I could fall in love (fall in love)
With you (you baby)
I could fall, fall in love (in love) with you (I could fall in love with you)

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”

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,
