This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
comes a flooding of this stage
we'll be wading in its wake
sifting through old men in their place
leads us to greater thoughts to crave
tell me glacier where you've been
and why is your posture is so poor
i hear the heats been coming in
i see the sun is at your door
small deaths come too late
Oh my brother went to make
his day amongst the sharks and whales
he had a heart of gold I think
but when he left it wasn't there
[now he wants to on _____ make]
yeah he'd been saving, he'd be saving
so much to have, but nothing gave
all put it up, now in his grave
small deaths come too late
do you intend to pour your affection til you
die I don't want you wait
not until your try
do you intend to [fake] your affection
cause the tides telling you to wait
not until the tide
no more time to carry with you (x4)
tend to the sound of what you believe and
we can't, we can't all
we can't, we can't all be that way
when you were young
and there was fascination
we can't, we can't all
we can't, we can't all
(x2)
we can't, we can't all (x10)
we'll be wading in its wake
sifting through old men in their place
leads us to greater thoughts to crave
tell me glacier where you've been
and why is your posture is so poor
i hear the heats been coming in
i see the sun is at your door
small deaths come too late
Oh my brother went to make
his day amongst the sharks and whales
he had a heart of gold I think
but when he left it wasn't there

do you intend to [fake] your affection

not until the tide
no more time to carry with you (x4)

we can't, we can't all (x10)

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”

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/

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.
At the end of your third verse, I think it should be
Now he woke to what he'd made Yeah he'd been saving, he'd been saving So much to have but nothing gained all boarded up now in his grave
Also, in your fourth verse I think it should be
Do you intend to hold your affection til you die I know why you wait Not until your dry Do you intend to feign your infection Cause the tide's telling you to wait Not until your time
