This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Bones shatter fall apart and hit the floor
If it doesn't thrill you it doesn't matter anymore,
Bone shatter,
Baby don't go out this time
No matter where you been or who you are,
If it doesn't kill you it's sure to leave a horrible scar
Bones shatter,
Baby don't go out this time
So what's another stenge not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me you know it's everything to me
You'll never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
We're not making this up so just write another letter,
I'll be fine
Alive again another day,
I'm not afraid to get over,
Never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
I'll be fine
I've been better,
I've seen a brighter side of life,
But any friend of the favors a friend of mine
Bones shatter,
Baby don't go out this time
So what's another stenge not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me you know it's everything to me
You'll never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
We're not making this up so just write another letter,
I'll be fine
Alive again another day,
I'm not afraid to get over,
Never stop 'cause we're only getting better
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You'll never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
We're not making this up so just write another letter,
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day,
I'm not afraid to get over,
Never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day,
A way to get over
(Alive again, another day)
A way to get over.
If it doesn't thrill you it doesn't matter anymore,
Bone shatter,
Baby don't go out this time
No matter where you been or who you are,
If it doesn't kill you it's sure to leave a horrible scar
Bones shatter,
Baby don't go out this time
So what's another stenge not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me you know it's everything to me
You'll never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
We're not making this up so just write another letter,
I'll be fine
Alive again another day,
I'm not afraid to get over,
Never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
I'll be fine
I've been better,
I've seen a brighter side of life,
But any friend of the favors a friend of mine
Bones shatter,
Baby don't go out this time
So what's another stenge not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me you know it's everything to me
You'll never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
We're not making this up so just write another letter,
I'll be fine
Alive again another day,
I'm not afraid to get over,
Never stop 'cause we're only getting better
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You'll never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
We're not making this up so just write another letter,
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day,
I'm not afraid to get over,
Never stop 'cause we're only getting better,
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day,
A way to get over
(Alive again, another day)
A way to get over.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
