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"
I'm a bad motherfucker not a fucking role model
Fuck church, hit a bong, then go smash a fucking bottle
Got a few sluts to help me roll a few blunts
And they never question me cause they know I hate cunts
Oh
Eat my words and swallow my sentences
Here we go you fucking asshole
Living off the dirt on my shoes, does it keep you alive?
What about that life
Hold me accountable
You're itching for the money that I use to wipe my ass
Here's some shitty Benjamin's
Too bad they'll never help you buy some fucking class
Trapped in a world where money controls you
Hustle hard or be a piece of shit
Watching the tears rolling down your face
I'm throwing away diamonds
I like a bad bitch
She fucks me all night
Then she counts my money while I'm on my play station
Every moment's always filled with sensation
Always fucking blazing America's my nation
I wouldn't have it any other fucking way
I'm about this fucking life I hustle hard and then I play
Put your lips on my dick so you can taste success
That's the shit swallow and don't spit
What about that life
Trapped in a world where money controls you
Hustle hard or be a piece of shit
Watching the tears rolling down your face
I'm throwing away diamonds
On and on it never stops till the money's gone
Rip this bong and get yo money bitch start stacking the paper
I had diamonds but I threw them away 'cause I don't give a fuck
Suck my fuck
She rides my dick like it's a merry go round
And I just bust my nut on her
Let me tell you something
Tighter than a virgin
Making money like a surgeon
And we stack it to the roof
Because my pockets started hurting
Balling and hauling and taking over like I'm Stalin
Got a few fucks but I do not give them to anyone.
Holy shit
I guess I'm really just about that life
Suck my fuck
Fuck church, hit a bong, then go smash a fucking bottle
Got a few sluts to help me roll a few blunts
And they never question me cause they know I hate cunts
Oh
Eat my words and swallow my sentences
Here we go you fucking asshole
Living off the dirt on my shoes, does it keep you alive?
What about that life
Hold me accountable
You're itching for the money that I use to wipe my ass
Here's some shitty Benjamin's
Too bad they'll never help you buy some fucking class
Trapped in a world where money controls you
Hustle hard or be a piece of shit
Watching the tears rolling down your face
I'm throwing away diamonds
I like a bad bitch
She fucks me all night
Then she counts my money while I'm on my play station
Every moment's always filled with sensation
Always fucking blazing America's my nation
I wouldn't have it any other fucking way
I'm about this fucking life I hustle hard and then I play
Put your lips on my dick so you can taste success
That's the shit swallow and don't spit
What about that life
Trapped in a world where money controls you
Hustle hard or be a piece of shit
Watching the tears rolling down your face
I'm throwing away diamonds
On and on it never stops till the money's gone
Rip this bong and get yo money bitch start stacking the paper
I had diamonds but I threw them away 'cause I don't give a fuck
Suck my fuck
She rides my dick like it's a merry go round
And I just bust my nut on her
Let me tell you something
Tighter than a virgin
Making money like a surgeon
And we stack it to the roof
Because my pockets started hurting
Balling and hauling and taking over like I'm Stalin
Got a few fucks but I do not give them to anyone.
Holy shit
I guess I'm really just about that life
Suck my fuck

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
Look at these lyrics. Wtf.
