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"
She put her hands on her knees
And she drop it down low
She poked out her booty
And she made it sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo'', sweep, sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo'', sweep, sweep da flo'
Damn, looky here looky here
Let me whisper somethin' in your ear
You the baddest thing up in here
My little playmate of the year
Get down ? beer
Ye hoe don't have no fear
I wanna get with you my dear
Sweep the flo' hoe wit yo rear
She sexy, exotic, bootylicious
She got it, I want it, how bout it
How much money in your wallet
Sweep da flo'' drop it down real low
Shake that ass 'till you can't no more
Make you work like a certified pro
Go baby, go baby go, low baby, low baby low
Sweep, sweep, sweep da flo'
In this club on dro and shots of patron
One more day and we gone
Poke it all night, pop it all night
Get low bitch sweep the whole house
Yeah, you know what it is
Sweep da flo'', let the freaks come out
She put her hands on her knees
And she drop it down low
She poked out her booty
And she made it sweep da flo''
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Shit, shit make some room
The bitch comin' through and I'mma call her broom
Sweep the flo'' till the shit gets swept
Shorty by herself she don't need no help
She hard and she'll run a pompoo off the yard
She whip, whip, whip, whip
On a face make a nigga say, yeah
Make good and ask for her number
I wonder if she wanna be my baby mama
Got this nigga drunk
Jumpin' all money by the mother fucking trunk
She a bad ass yellow bitch
In the club every night doin' that nasty shit
If you wanna see her bend over and touch them toes
In the booty club where you need to go
You wanna see the bitch get nude
And pop that pussy with attitude
Put titties in your face like suck it
Then shake it on your dick like fuck it
Little mama ain't scared
But you gotta be spinnin' that bread
Look, you gotta make it rain on the hoe
Then watch her scoop somebody off their toes
She put her hands on her knees
And she drop it down low
She poked out her booty
And she made it sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
And she drop it down low
She poked out her booty
And she made it sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo'', sweep, sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo'', sweep, sweep da flo'
Damn, looky here looky here
Let me whisper somethin' in your ear
You the baddest thing up in here
My little playmate of the year
Get down ? beer
Ye hoe don't have no fear
I wanna get with you my dear
Sweep the flo' hoe wit yo rear
She sexy, exotic, bootylicious
She got it, I want it, how bout it
How much money in your wallet
Sweep da flo'' drop it down real low
Shake that ass 'till you can't no more
Make you work like a certified pro
Go baby, go baby go, low baby, low baby low
Sweep, sweep, sweep da flo'
In this club on dro and shots of patron
One more day and we gone
Poke it all night, pop it all night
Get low bitch sweep the whole house

She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
Sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'
She sweep da flo', sweep, sweep da flo'

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.

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.
