I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I’ve been behind on the events of the past 7 days
I’ve been sleeping in my bed
And missing you like sometimes crazy girls do
I’ve been hanging like a child onto this photograph of us
It was taken on a bus across town the last time I saw you
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, down
Well I can’t get my self together I’m soaking in the pain
It’s ridiculous how easy it is to go astray
When my focus ain’t right
Sometimes crazy’s all right
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, oh
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right
Well I never thought I’d say I was in love with you again
It’s funny how my life has come around to this
And I’m crazy for you
I do like crazy girls do
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right, crazy’s all right
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes crazy’s all right
I’ve been sleeping in my bed
And missing you like sometimes crazy girls do
I’ve been hanging like a child onto this photograph of us
It was taken on a bus across town the last time I saw you
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, down
Well I can’t get my self together I’m soaking in the pain
It’s ridiculous how easy it is to go astray
When my focus ain’t right
Sometimes crazy’s all right
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down, oh
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right
Well I never thought I’d say I was in love with you again
It’s funny how my life has come around to this
And I’m crazy for you
I do like crazy girls do
And now this whole world is going ‘round
But it’s when you’re gone it really brings me down
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance
Only you baby keep me up at night
Sometimes crazy’s all right, crazy’s all right
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes
Oh, will you wait till I get back home again(this whole world)
‘Cause I’m willing to give this another chance(is going ‘round)
Only you baby keep me up at night(this whole world is going ‘round)
Sometimes crazy’s all right

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Gosh this song is so good and i absolutely love her voice, its just so powerful!
