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.
Don't look now.
I saw you dancing on that speaker box, girl what's your name?
I see you texting on that B.B.M., can we exchange?
I got two glasses at my table, can I show you the way?
Tonight's the night to let it go, go, girl it's okay.
Yeah, I'm not looking for no strings, you're not looking for a ring
If you're ready for this fling, then meet me in the back.
I never knew it'd be like this, such an unexpected twist
Started off with just a kiss, I don't know how to act.
Dear heart, I know I said I'd take it slow
I know I swore on everything I own
But I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
But don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now
I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
Don't look now.
My heart is pumping like that bass before I pick you up
The way we stole each others hearts we playing Stick em up
I take a shot of Ciroc to get me in the zone now
She took a step out the door, from head to toe she's all 'wow'
I'm not looking for no strings, you're not looking for a ring.
If you're ready for this fling, then meet me in the back.
I never knew it'd be like this, such an unexpected twist
Started off with just a kiss, I don't know how to act.
Hey, uh, I know I promised you I'd take it slow
I know I swore on everything I own
But I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
But don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now
I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
Don't look now.
Somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me doin' things I never did before.
Damn, there's somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me out my zone, I'm losin' all control.
Somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me doin' things I never did before.
Damn, there's somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me out my zone, I'm losin' all control.
Hey, uh, I know I promised you I'd take it slow
I know I swore on everything I own
But I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
But don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now.

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
It means that we're too excited to go slow or wait. It means we're crazy about each other. =] Keep looking for the right song to tell you where to go baby. <33
