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.
Laughing so hard
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies
Oh, I can't believe that you're still around
Almost forgot how you let me down
Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but I'm comin' 'round
The scars are still fragile
Don't let me down
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
(Don't let me down)
(Don't let me down)
(Don't let me down)
Time after time
It's just too much to take
I've waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now
Don't let me down
(Don't let me down)
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
(Don't let me down)
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down (don't let me down)
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies
Oh, I can't believe that you're still around
Almost forgot how you let me down
Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but I'm comin' 'round
The scars are still fragile
Don't let me down
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
(Don't let me down)
(Don't let me down)
(Don't let me down)
Time after time
It's just too much to take
I've waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now
Don't let me down
(Don't let me down)
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
(Don't let me down)
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
'Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down (don't let me down)

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,

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.

I love this song, she just sounds so vulnerable. And I can relate to it so much (yeah I know, so can everyone, teehee) coz it just seems to exactly describe my relationship at the mo
