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"
[Intro: Warcloud]
All you mad babies out there
You beautiful young ladies, this one's for you
Go out and shake ya little fanny, you fancy fuck
[Chorus x2: Warcloud]
Strawberry creme champagne's her last name
Strawberry creme champagne's her last name
Strawberry creme, strawberry creme
Strawberry creme champagne's her last name
[Warcloud:]
Liqourice and ice cream, chocolate chip cookies
She moves like the enchantress, vixens and belly dancers
Nah, playboy, that's you, I'm cruisin'
With a big bottle, cigarettes and groovin'
Watch her sly movement, chicks can suck my boing-boing
When we gonna join-join, back, flippin' a coin-coin
Keep the pistol tuck-tuck, slap it like a truck-truck
Glance at an elegant broad, wit a yuck-yuck
His dirty luck-luck, pair neck to groovy
I might go up to the roof wit pretty Suzy
Or another cutie, keep my music spooky
We touchin' mad tropical fruit, cold and juicy
Watermelon waterfalls, teeny bikini bitches
Silly, silly, silly, ice sunken treasure and riches
Give a champ stitches, turn the place into Fight Club
How many French maids does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Classy model chicks, an apple martini
I pour my champagne in a wine glass, wit peony
L.A. hustle, might greet you with a knuckle
And tongue kiss an actress makin' the place buckle
Malt shots and roller-skates, caterpillars on mint leaves
Malt shots and roller-skates, caterpillars on mint leaves
[Chorus x2]
[Warcloud:]
The bouncers give respect to the Black Knights vet
Might rock the whole party wit a mic and cassette
Apple stems and cherry pit, sweat a strawberry bitch
Shaped like a vase full of Indigo pearls
Pistol walk swiftly, ice cream on her pantyhose
Ask me to dance, I drank and dropped a sandy rose
Bowl of cherry Cola, evening at the club house
Black Knight berserkers, crowds is givin' love out
Might just rub out, some that look thugged out
Deep in the party, knuckles on the bar
Ice cold drinks, chewin' Malaysian bubble gum
Miniskirt Mom, lyrics'll they will trouble some
Bodies lay in the hall, a bloody ball
The flying birds now all fall, I stand tall
Cashews and walnuts, loungin' lavender lime light
An apple full of sour gummy worms, you couldn't rhyme right
[Chorus x2]
[Crisis:]
Sexy bitch, yo, you beautiful, do you know what I'd do to you? (What?)
All the above, you incredible, lookin' edible (for real?)
Girl you look like a meal in small bills
That's my brother Monk, maybe him and ya girl can build
[Monk:]
Casually step this, splashin', I the rugged Monk-Monk
This fine bitch glance, while dance, she backed it up-up
Amazed by my swift high pitch, she got stuck-stuck
Henny off the breath from the bar, fo' sho, I'm drunk-drunk (so what's
crackin'?)
[Crisis:]
Beds and backboards, whatever you ask for
Except kisses, hay and cash, what more can you ask for?
Oh yeah, only time I go raw is the jaw (where we about to go?)
Well shit, we rollin' wit ya'll
[Monk:]
So what's ya name? (Champagne)
[Crisis:]
And yours (Elaine)
[Monk:]
You'se a fly dame (hop in)
We poppin', I got the black box, go raps, let's go to Compton
Mistress crack a travel live, room 212, my entourage
It's waitin'
[Crisis:]
Patiently, damn this remy martin's makin' me see double
That and the weed made me stumble out the vehicle
Didn't let the ho see it though
And that nigga Monk, rollin' up some more weed to smoke
All you mad babies out there
You beautiful young ladies, this one's for you
Go out and shake ya little fanny, you fancy fuck
[Chorus x2: Warcloud]
Strawberry creme champagne's her last name
Strawberry creme champagne's her last name

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
