This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm on automatic
And you gotta flip the switch.
Baby there's a box in the attic
But I couldn't tell you which was which.
It's all become a running joke.
I'm what you might call simple folk.
But everything’ll turn out fine.
Things are looking up.
In the meantime
Things are looking up.
I'm swinging through the top of the valley,
Felling like the missing link.
But there's another schematic
and look, she's getting me a drink
While putting flowers on his crypt
'Cause Valentino's lost the script.
But everything'll turn out fine.
Things are looking up.
In the meantime
Things are looking up.
You blew another ring.
I thought you'd quit.
Along with calling misfits
But it's me your looking up.
I'm on automatic.
The only person left to frisk.
I know I'm being over-dramatic
But I think I'm going to run that risk,
Of walking down the same old plank.
And maybe I'm about to tank,
But everything'll turn out fine.
Things are looking up.
In the meantime…
Things are looking up
In the meantime.
And you gotta flip the switch.
Baby there's a box in the attic
But I couldn't tell you which was which.
It's all become a running joke.
I'm what you might call simple folk.
But everything’ll turn out fine.
Things are looking up.
In the meantime
Things are looking up.
I'm swinging through the top of the valley,
Felling like the missing link.
But there's another schematic
and look, she's getting me a drink
While putting flowers on his crypt
'Cause Valentino's lost the script.
But everything'll turn out fine.
Things are looking up.
In the meantime
Things are looking up.
You blew another ring.
I thought you'd quit.
Along with calling misfits
But it's me your looking up.
I'm on automatic.
The only person left to frisk.
I know I'm being over-dramatic
But I think I'm going to run that risk,
Of walking down the same old plank.
And maybe I'm about to tank,
But everything'll turn out fine.
Things are looking up.
In the meantime…
Things are looking up
In the meantime.

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,

“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.
Seems like a positive song at first, but I think he's being sarcastic. Although he's been mistreated by this woman, he's going to give it a shot, so everything's good right? Things are looking up, right? He knows it's stupid, but he's gonna do it anyway. Perhaps there are a couple different scenarios in the song, but each time he goes into it knowing it's a bad idea, but he's gonna do it anyway.
That's my initial take, at least.
