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”
Yeah
Sick and tired of the same ol thing
Seeing the same ol faces
Check it out girl
[Verse 1:]
I'ma sucker for you
My homies always tell me I'ma fool
Cause now I don't to the do things that I use too
Now I see the block is not the place for me
Life is more then dice, games, and Hennessey
That night
My partner got shoot I was home with you
So if it wasn't for you
They woulda got me too
[Chorus:]
Girl I swear you're my good luck that jus won't go away
You mean so much to me
Girl I swear you brought feeling on me that I never had
You mean so much to me
[Verse 2:]
Girl you opened my eyes (Girl you opened my eyes)
Now I see (Girl now I see)
Nothing but haters and snakes surrounding me
I was letting the hood take me under
Until I found you
Now you occupy all my time
With all the sweet things you do
[Chorus:]
Girl I swear you're my good luck that jus won't go away
You mean so much to me
Girl I swear you brought feeling on me that I never had
You mean so much to me
[Hook:]
You're my favorite girl
With you is where I want to be
Girl I left these streets alone
Just to be with you
Take my hand
So we can fly away to a paradise girl
Away from the madness
Away from the games
Starting from right here, things will change
[Chorus: (repeat til fade)]
Girl I swear you're my good luck that jus won't go away
You mean so much to me
Girl I swear you brought feeling on me that I never had
You mean so much to me
Sick and tired of the same ol thing
Seeing the same ol faces
Check it out girl
[Verse 1:]
I'ma sucker for you
My homies always tell me I'ma fool
Cause now I don't to the do things that I use too
Now I see the block is not the place for me
Life is more then dice, games, and Hennessey
That night
My partner got shoot I was home with you
So if it wasn't for you
They woulda got me too
[Chorus:]
Girl I swear you're my good luck that jus won't go away
You mean so much to me
Girl I swear you brought feeling on me that I never had
You mean so much to me
[Verse 2:]
Girl you opened my eyes (Girl you opened my eyes)
Now I see (Girl now I see)
Nothing but haters and snakes surrounding me

Just to be with you
Take my hand
So we can fly away to a paradise girl
Away from the madness

Girl I swear you're my good luck that jus won't go away

Girl I swear you brought feeling on me that I never had
You mean so much to 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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
