The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I don't even know your name
Much less, for shame
You've been comin' round my door
Comin' round my door
But you don't need to know much
To want to feel the touch
Of another human being
Comin' round your door
Comin' round your door
Oh and maybe someday
I'd like to have a baby
Then you would have to
Come inside my door
Oh that's a metaphor
'Cause it's all we really need sometimes
Love is tiresome and blind
To fornicate is much more safe
It leaves you stoned, deaf, dumb, blind
Always a little more high
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for life
Oh for life
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for tonight
Oh for tonight
Last night I let you in
That's okay, we'll cool
But it's funny how the difference
Rules the earth
Rules the earth
Oh that goes around and round
That's a lot and the
Only time we ever stop
Is for that quick moment to refuel the beast for the the cumshot
Oh the cumshot
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for life
Oh for life
Come inside my door
That's my medicine for tonight
Oh for tonight
I don't even know your name
Much less, for shame
You've been comin' round my door
Comin' round my door
But you don't need to know much
To want to feel the touch
Of another human being
Comin' round your door
Comin' round your door
Oh and maybe someday
I'd like to have a baby
Then you would have to
Come inside my door
Oh that's a metaphor
'Cause it's all we really need sometimes
Love is tiresome and blind
To fornicate is much more safe
It leaves you stoned, deaf, dumb, blind
Always a little more high
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for life
Oh for life
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for tonight
Oh for tonight
Last night I let you in
That's okay, we'll cool
But it's funny how the difference
Rules the earth
Rules the earth
Oh that goes around and round
That's a lot and the
Only time we ever stop
Is for that quick moment to refuel the beast for the the cumshot
Oh the cumshot
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for life
Oh for life
Come inside my door
That's my medicine for tonight
Oh for tonight
I don't even know your name

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
