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”
No, don't tell me that everythings invain
Don't you know that every war will end
'Cause when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
Lust and hunger, gluttony and greed
Yes, it's true that bad and mean succeed
But when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
if artgirl needs artboy enough
I'll balance their checkbooks, I'll do what they can't do
I'll clean their apartments, just as long as they get through
No, don't tell me that the sky is always grey
Don't you know that it will clear some day
'Cause when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
if artgirl needs artboy enough
Then the world just stops and then everyone starts dancing
As they tell you about their symphonies and the poetry they've made
As they guide you through their galleries of all the wonders they create
No, don't tell me that everythings gone wrong
Don't you now that this time we'll be strong
'Cause when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
if artgirl needs artboy enough
Then the world just stops and then everyone starts dancing
As they tell you about their symphonies and the poetry they've made
As they guide you through their galleries of all the wonders they create
More love, more love, more happy, happy love.
Don't you know that every war will end
'Cause when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
Lust and hunger, gluttony and greed
Yes, it's true that bad and mean succeed
But when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
if artgirl needs artboy enough
I'll balance their checkbooks, I'll do what they can't do
I'll clean their apartments, just as long as they get through
No, don't tell me that the sky is always grey
Don't you know that it will clear some day
'Cause when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
if artgirl needs artboy enough
Then the world just stops and then everyone starts dancing
As they tell you about their symphonies and the poetry they've made
As they guide you through their galleries of all the wonders they create
No, don't tell me that everythings gone wrong
Don't you now that this time we'll be strong
'Cause when artboy meets artgirl there's gonna be love
if artgirl needs artboy enough
Then the world just stops and then everyone starts dancing
As they tell you about their symphonies and the poetry they've made
As they guide you through their galleries of all the wonders they create
More love, more love, more happy, happy love.

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.

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.

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.
This is about falling in love :)
