The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
I could never see
What fate had planned for me
And then you came and made my dream
This man's reality
Maybe you can see
All the things you meant to me
But my simple fate is at the gate
And girl you've got the key
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
It seems like yesterday
You and i first felt this way
But now i know our love can grow
In each and every day
We lay at midnight's hour
And feel love's hidden power
So strong and bold
As love unfolds
It's mystery to me
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
Fallin' in love again
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
I could never see
What fate had planned for me
And then you came and made my dream
This man's reality
Maybe you can see
All the things you meant to me
But my simple fate is at the gate
And girl you've got the key
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
It seems like yesterday
You and i first felt this way
But now i know our love can grow
In each and every day
We lay at midnight's hour
And feel love's hidden power
So strong and bold
As love unfolds
It's mystery to me
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again
Baby baby fallin' in love
Fallin' in love again

Yo La Tengo
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
