This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I love Lucy
I love Lucy Liu
Yes I love her twice as much as you
Now there's Jolie
Angela Jolie
Could you ever look as good as she
I just want someone that would come home
Why don't you come home, why don't you come home
Now there's Zeta
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Yes her body is perfectly toned
When I meet her
We'll be mates you'll see
And I'll be the guy the guys want to be
I just want someone that would come home
Why don't you come home, why don't you come home
And just one star jump out of magazines into my arms
We took it too, we took it to far
You're watching watching you watching me
You're watching watching you watching me
You're watching watching you watching me
Stop watching me
I just want someone that would come home
Why don't you come home, why don't you come home
And just one star jump out of magazines into my arms
We took it too, we took it to far
I love Lucy Liu
Yes I love her twice as much as you
Now there's Jolie
Angela Jolie
Could you ever look as good as she
I just want someone that would come home
Why don't you come home, why don't you come home
Now there's Zeta
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Yes her body is perfectly toned
When I meet her
We'll be mates you'll see
And I'll be the guy the guys want to be
I just want someone that would come home
Why don't you come home, why don't you come home
And just one star jump out of magazines into my arms
We took it too, we took it to far
You're watching watching you watching me
You're watching watching you watching me
You're watching watching you watching me
Stop watching me
I just want someone that would come home
Why don't you come home, why don't you come home
And just one star jump out of magazines into my arms
We took it too, we took it to far

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”

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,

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.
I think its funny how in the song he calls her Angela Jolie. Its just about lusting over someone you'll never have. Love it, love it.
Angela Jolie! Haha, quality stuff! Yeah, it's a song about being starstruck and fantasising about celebrities.
yeah i agree with wat testermunha and fundamental have said. we all wish that randomly some hot celeb will come along and proclaim their love for us. haha sad i know, but also true lol when will jensen ackles finally come to his senses haha :D jokes lol
