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”
Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says "I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or, try again tomorrow"
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it"
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's okay man
She don't like them anyway
Jane says "I'm going away to Spain
When I get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow"
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but
She can't hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know... what else to do about it
Jane goes
To the store at eight
She walks up on Saint Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says I've never been in love - no
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
"I only want 'em if they want me,..."
"I only know they want me..."
Jane says...
Jane says...
I'm done with Sergio

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.

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.
this song kicks! there's this guy in love w/ a girl & she's lost & scared & confused even though she gives the appearance of a grl w/ troubles but still self-assured. so this guy admires her from afar & sings a song about her problems b/c he wants to help her & isn't shure how. do ya'll get what i mean ?
