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”
I have seen it this time
but I am older now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me solutions
but I am sober now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me new propositions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to knowever think to ask me how or why
well offer me new institutions
some place I can clear up my mind
open up and swallow this mother fucker
you will not
you will not survive
I have seen the difference
but I am older now
well you will take what you want from me
but you will never win
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to know
ever think to ask me how or why
I have seen it now
I never will come down
wish I could hold the photograph
yet this scene is old
I never felt this cold
wish I could hold from me...
now
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible
ever think to ask me how or why
offer me new institutions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
but I am older now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me solutions
but I am sober now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me new propositions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to knowever think to ask me how or why
well offer me new institutions
some place I can clear up my mind
open up and swallow this mother fucker
you will not
you will not survive
I have seen the difference
but I am older now
well you will take what you want from me
but you will never win
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to know
ever think to ask me how or why
I have seen it now
I never will come down
wish I could hold the photograph
yet this scene is old
I never felt this cold
wish I could hold from me...
now
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible
ever think to ask me how or why
offer me new institutions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
i love this song! its what turned me on to Onesidezero, which is a great band from what i have heard. You can find this one not only on their cd but on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 Soundtrack.
Great song. I really like onesidezero, this guys got great lyircs.
this song has one of the most awesome chorus tunes man!!! mind blowing
this song isn't their best song. infact, i'd go as far as to say that it's their worst on the cd. that's not saying it's bad but i'm not sure why they released it as their first single type song.
This song led me to believe that onesidezero is one of those nu-metal tool rip offs, i need a new song to prove me wrong
