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.
Wake up
A voice hits the air on a lonely coast
And I'll sing along like a prayer for you
I can dream up the words
I'll never see your face again
If we wake at
If we wake at all
She sings to me
If we wake at
If we wake at all
We'll try to change
They say love will never mean a thing
Still our hearts beat
So come on
So stuck on the only thing that we know
What we know starts to waste
If we wake at
If we wake at all
She sings to me
Can we be sure
If we wake at
If we wake at all
Oh my God
A voice hits the air on a lonely coast
And I'll sing along like a prayer for you
I can dream up the words
I'll never see your face again
If we wake at
If we wake at all
She sings to me
If we wake at
If we wake at all
We'll try to change
They say love will never mean a thing
Still our hearts beat
So come on
So stuck on the only thing that we know
What we know starts to waste
If we wake at
If we wake at all
She sings to me
Can we be sure
If we wake at
If we wake at all
Oh my God

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
I think this song is about a couple who wants to be together & thinks they love each other but they don't realize that it won't work even though everyone else can see it ("They say love will never mean a thing still our hearts beat so come on so stuck on the only thing that we know what we know starts to waste") They can't open their eyes & see reality. ("if we wake at all")
