This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Locked out again, here I am, standing on the front porch,
Waiting for you to come home and let me in
It’s times like these I get to thinking to myself even though I’m not the brightest
I still shine brightly if to no one but myself
You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.
What a trip that this has been, what a way to start the day
I’d say excitement come this evening may very well be what I need
The predicament I’ve fallen in shows a clear misunderstanding of the way
The real world operates, I hate that I don’t think ahead
You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.
My wishful thinking says, “I won’t do this again.”
But in the meantime I’ll just bide my time
And make due with where I am
Waiting for you to come home and let me in
It’s times like these I get to thinking to myself even though I’m not the brightest
I still shine brightly if to no one but myself
You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.
What a trip that this has been, what a way to start the day
I’d say excitement come this evening may very well be what I need
The predicament I’ve fallen in shows a clear misunderstanding of the way
The real world operates, I hate that I don’t think ahead
You could say that I am bored, but I have got imagination
It’s the only thing that gets me through each day
And I try to make the best of every awkward situation
I hope I learn so I don’t make the same mistake.
My wishful thinking says, “I won’t do this again.”
But in the meantime I’ll just bide my time
And make due with where I am

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.
