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've been (?) my life just a rolling stone,
When I needed your love, baby, your'e always gone.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got.
They say a rolling stone never gathers no moss,
One day we will slow down and find that love is lost.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got,
Now I want (?) that you got.
(?).
Now I want (?) that you got.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Baby, grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got,
Now I want (?) that you got.
When I needed your love, baby, your'e always gone.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got.
They say a rolling stone never gathers no moss,
One day we will slow down and find that love is lost.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got,
Now I want (?) that you got.
(?).
Now I want (?) that you got.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Baby, grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got,
Now I want (?) that you got.

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,

“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.
