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”
So I know nothing of your taste
and now speak up, lover.
It's in your lips, I found.
Come on, just press against me
I finally have your attention,
so listen closer, sweetheart.
I've been trying to tell you, stay awake.
And no, no, when we're safe here
Come back, come back, you stayed always.
Stay with me here
Stay with me and watch these cars go by,
and tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.
Watch as I go back
I just came to say that
you'll never see me again.
This clock is ours now, 'til morning.
So stay right there in that frame
This picture is how we speak.
You'll never see me again,
cause I miss you already.
And being that you haven't seen me.
I don't belong in anything you dream,
in anything we dream.
She said "Put your hands back
on my skin and say you loved me,
'Cause I can't live like you do.
Never could."
Come on, just press against me.
You always have my attention,
and please speak up, lover.
Make those lips move.
Come back on the weekend forever
cause you don't mean to shake that way
Come back on the weekend forever
Cause you don't mean to...
Stay with me and I will try to tell you
Stay with me and I will try to tell you
So watch as I go back
I just came to say that
you'll never see me again
This clock is ours now, 'til morning.
So stay right there in that frame
This picture is how we see you
You'll never see me again,
cause I miss you already.
and now speak up, lover.
It's in your lips, I found.
Come on, just press against me
I finally have your attention,
so listen closer, sweetheart.
I've been trying to tell you, stay awake.
And no, no, when we're safe here
Come back, come back, you stayed always.
Stay with me here
Stay with me and watch these cars go by,
and tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.
Watch as I go back
I just came to say that
you'll never see me again.
This clock is ours now, 'til morning.
So stay right there in that frame
This picture is how we speak.
You'll never see me again,
cause I miss you already.
And being that you haven't seen me.
I don't belong in anything you dream,
in anything we dream.
She said "Put your hands back
on my skin and say you loved me,
'Cause I can't live like you do.
Never could."
Come on, just press against me.
You always have my attention,
and please speak up, lover.
Make those lips move.
Come back on the weekend forever
cause you don't mean to shake that way
Come back on the weekend forever
Cause you don't mean to...
Stay with me and I will try to tell you
Stay with me and I will try to tell you
So watch as I go back
I just came to say that
you'll never see me again
This clock is ours now, 'til morning.
So stay right there in that frame
This picture is how we see you
You'll never see me again,
cause I miss you already.

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.
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.

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.
Wow, you're so right about that line. Thanks for the correction.
