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.
You did it to me, so now I do it back
Give me disease, give me a heart attack
All my plans are tentative
I'll die for you but I won't live
Oh we can go anywhere
Oh we can go in an ambulance
Oh we can do anything
Oh we can do it right now
You did it to me, so now I do it back
You did it to me, so now I do it back
Fuck me free, I want my money back
Love is so cheap, such a worthless trap
All my friends are thick as thieves
I'd die for them and what we believe
Oh we can go anywhere
Oh we can go in an ambulance
Oh we can do anything
Oh we can do it right now
Can you come home
Can you come right now
Can you come home
Can you come right now
I'm not good enough, I'm not clean anymore
I'm damaged up, I want to come home but
I'm not good enough, I'm not clean anymore
I'm damaged up, I want to come home
Oh we can go anywhere
Oh we can go in an ambulance
Oh we can do anything
Oh we can do it right now, right now
Give me disease, give me a heart attack
All my plans are tentative
I'll die for you but I won't live
Oh we can go anywhere
Oh we can go in an ambulance
Oh we can do anything
Oh we can do it right now
You did it to me, so now I do it back
You did it to me, so now I do it back
Fuck me free, I want my money back
Love is so cheap, such a worthless trap
All my friends are thick as thieves
I'd die for them and what we believe
Oh we can go anywhere
Oh we can go in an ambulance
Oh we can do anything
Oh we can do it right now
Can you come home
Can you come right now
Can you come home
Can you come right now
I'm not good enough, I'm not clean anymore
I'm damaged up, I want to come home but
I'm not good enough, I'm not clean anymore
I'm damaged up, I want to come home
Oh we can go anywhere
Oh we can go in an ambulance
Oh we can do anything
Oh we can do it right now, right now

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,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
