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.
One, two, three, go!
I love how you move and how you say yes,
Forget my success, unzip your dress,
We've got a ? and oh it's not fair,
But if I take you home, maybe you'll share
I love you so much I'll do whatever you do,
I'll take another line, but only for you,
Now if I fall asleep and I won't wake up,
Try your best to save me and never give up
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Will we slow down? It's way too fast,
I'm not saying stop, I just want it to last,
Every little touch takes me so much deeper,
Oh my god, I've got to keep her
I know it's a risk and I know it's all fake,
But you are a lie I'm willing to take,
Tell me what you're worth, girl, I'll pay the cost,
'Cause without you I'd feel so lost
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Come on little lady, go and you'll be fine,
I know that it's harder when you barely know me,
I don't know what your name is but I bet you're pricey,
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Come on little lady, go and you'll be fine,
I know that it's harder when you barely know me,
I don't know what your name is but I bet you're pricey,
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
I love how you move and how you say yes,
Forget my success, unzip your dress,
We've got a ? and oh it's not fair,
But if I take you home, maybe you'll share
I love you so much I'll do whatever you do,
I'll take another line, but only for you,
Now if I fall asleep and I won't wake up,
Try your best to save me and never give up
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Will we slow down? It's way too fast,
I'm not saying stop, I just want it to last,
Every little touch takes me so much deeper,
Oh my god, I've got to keep her
I know it's a risk and I know it's all fake,
But you are a lie I'm willing to take,
Tell me what you're worth, girl, I'll pay the cost,
'Cause without you I'd feel so lost
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,

Come on little lady, go and you'll be fine,
I know that it's harder when you barely know me,
I don't know what your name is but I bet you're pricey,
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever
You're breaking my heart, I'm dying slowly,
Tell me right now baby if you love me,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Oh, forever, oh oh, forever,
Let's go
Come on little lady, go and you'll be fine,
I know that it's harder when you barely know me,
I don't know what your name is but I bet you're pricey,
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?
How much does it cost to tell me that you love me?

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.
haha, yea? i dont know, i just love this song, and him! :))
