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 loved you
You were all that I wanted, then
I watched you
Turn into someone else
Well, I'm sick of the fighting
I'm sick of just blaming myself
Well, I'm sick of escaping, I'm sick of erasing
Your face and the places that give me a trace
To you but I
Will never find you
I can't hold on, I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through when
I was part of you
I'm feeling numb from holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through when
I was part of you
Well, if I can deceive you
Then why can't I leave you alone?
Well, if everything's painful, then why do I wait for
Your face or the place that will give me a trace
To you but I
Will never find you
I can't hold on, I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through when
I was part of you
I'm feeling numb from holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through when
I was part of you
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
But I
Will never find you
I can't hold on, I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through when
I was part of you
I'm feeling numb from holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through when
I was part of you
You were all that I wanted, then
I watched you
Turn into someone else
Well, I'm sick of the fighting
I'm sick of just blaming myself
Well, I'm sick of escaping, I'm sick of erasing
Your face and the places that give me a trace
To you but I
Will never find you
I can't hold on, I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through when
I was part of you
I'm feeling numb from holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through when
I was part of you
Well, if I can deceive you
Then why can't I leave you alone?
Well, if everything's painful, then why do I wait for
Your face or the place that will give me a trace
To you but I
Will never find you
I can't hold on, I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through when
I was part of you
I'm feeling numb from holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through when
I was part of you
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
But I
Will never find you
I can't hold on, I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through when
I was part of you
I'm feeling numb from holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through when
I was part of you

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

“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.
Are you sure? :rolleyes:
