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.
She makes her way up to the front door
Completely numb when she hears my voice
Her burdened eyes show signs of light now
To me there's nothing there but cold
When everything is changed
Can it be the same
I'm sorry but this just feels right
Something happened just last night
There's nothing anymore
I finally think I've found myself
Love has fallen somewhere else
I know it myst be true
I pace across the bedroom floor
Numbness comes with a rage of fire
I blanky look up at a heart of stone
These two months nothing but a lie
How can it be the same
when you know everything is changed
Broken trust can never be regained
It was never there to start
I have my reasons why
Not to waste it all on you
Completely numb when she hears my voice
Her burdened eyes show signs of light now
To me there's nothing there but cold
When everything is changed
Can it be the same
I'm sorry but this just feels right
Something happened just last night
There's nothing anymore
I finally think I've found myself
Love has fallen somewhere else
I know it myst be true
I pace across the bedroom floor
Numbness comes with a rage of fire
I blanky look up at a heart of stone
These two months nothing but a lie
How can it be the same
when you know everything is changed
Broken trust can never be regained
It was never there to start
I have my reasons why
Not to waste it all on 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,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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 think she cheated on him...whatever it's about, it's a beautiful song.
I agree. This song isn't one the band tends to play live or talk about, but I think she cheated on him too. It's a very nice piece - I like the emotions and the vivid mental picture it creates.
