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”
Oh, she was wonderful
Oh, well it's a shame she's insanely wonderful
I feel alive in links to my body whole
like Mr. Jones I just want somebody who's
by the campfire light in the summer time
good times with friends what's yours is mine
my life is yours cause you are mine
so we're waiting by the shoals for the waves we've been looking for
to lay awake all night and make love
touch me, the way your touch made me alive
well I consider enough all the things I've done
A pretty little thing, don't let this thing just run away
I know I think too much
about a world where I think too much
Oh, well it's a shame she's insanely wonderful
I feel alive in links to my body whole
like Mr. Jones I just want somebody who's
by the campfire light in the summer time
good times with friends what's yours is mine
my life is yours cause you are mine
so we're waiting by the shoals for the waves we've been looking for
to lay awake all night and make love
touch me, the way your touch made me alive
well I consider enough all the things I've done
A pretty little thing, don't let this thing just run away
I know I think too much
about a world where I think too much

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,

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 is done in the same way that ten ton brick and aftermath were. This is the second part. However, it seems as though eden and links and waves could be a prequel to ten ton brick and aftermath. At first it irritated me me how short this song is, but now I realize that the magic of the song comes from minimalism of it.
