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.
No one likes to be alone
Coming down on the telephone
Across the city, across the sea
And come back, baby, connect to me
Wrote you a letter, sent to your heart
And backwards rewinds to the start
And sweet little words of therapy
To come back, baby, connect to me
And the phone calls
And the shooting stars
We'll be fine
Oh yeah, never mind, just never mind
And the phone calls
And the shooting stars
We'll be fine
Oh yeah, never mind, just never mind
And the phone calls
And the shooting stars
We'll be fine
Oh yeah, never mind, just never mind
No one likes to be alone
But coming down's better on your own
Coming down on the telephone
Across the city, across the sea
And come back, baby, connect to me
Wrote you a letter, sent to your heart
And backwards rewinds to the start
And sweet little words of therapy
To come back, baby, connect to me
And the phone calls
And the shooting stars
We'll be fine
Oh yeah, never mind, just never mind
And the phone calls
And the shooting stars
We'll be fine
Oh yeah, never mind, just never mind
And the phone calls
And the shooting stars
We'll be fine
Oh yeah, never mind, just never mind
No one likes to be alone
But coming down's better on your own

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,

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.
