I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I couldn't bring myself to take you home
I've got you out here all alone
And even this old drunken mind
Still right here tonight
Yellow fireflies in the field
Think I know the way I feel
At the corner of my eye
Did you see that?
Every star up in the sky
Has got your name on it tonight
And they don't stand a chance like I know I don't
And girl you can't tell me that you can't see
The kind of spell you put on me
You gotta know just what you do
Even the stars fall for you
Even the stars fall for you
So make a wish and make it fast
I just want this thing to last
'Cause heaven knows it's falling hard
And I'm not the only one
Every star up in the sky
Has got your name on it tonight
And they don't stand a chance like I know I don't
And girl you can't tell me that you can't see
The kind of spell you put on me
You gotta know just what you do
Even the stars fall for you
I never counted on your touch
Making me want you so much
I never dreamed of your sweet lips
Could make me feel like this
Nothing like this
Every star up in the sky
Has got your name on it tonight
And they don't stand a chance like I know I don't
And girl you can't tell me that you can't see
The kind of spell you put on me
'Cause you gotta know just what you do
Even the stars fall for you
Even the stars fall for you
Even the stars fall for you
I've got you out here all alone
And even this old drunken mind
Still right here tonight
Yellow fireflies in the field
Think I know the way I feel
At the corner of my eye
Did you see that?
Every star up in the sky
Has got your name on it tonight
And they don't stand a chance like I know I don't
And girl you can't tell me that you can't see
The kind of spell you put on me
You gotta know just what you do
Even the stars fall for you
Even the stars fall for you
So make a wish and make it fast
I just want this thing to last
'Cause heaven knows it's falling hard
And I'm not the only one
Every star up in the sky
Has got your name on it tonight
And they don't stand a chance like I know I don't
And girl you can't tell me that you can't see
The kind of spell you put on me
You gotta know just what you do
Even the stars fall for you
I never counted on your touch
Making me want you so much
I never dreamed of your sweet lips
Could make me feel like this
Nothing like this
Every star up in the sky
Has got your name on it tonight
And they don't stand a chance like I know I don't
And girl you can't tell me that you can't see
The kind of spell you put on me
'Cause you gotta know just what you do
Even the stars fall for you
Even the stars fall for you
Even the stars fall for 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,
Magical

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page

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.
