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.
How did he make the
Waves crash over?
Care so much
Is there anybody here?
So I poked my head out
Through the wounded stormy night
Now I leave my door open
Crushed salt and I've gotta learn
To take flight.
Breathe in
Sway
We sway
Grabbed her by the hips and hand
Then off we went
Across the sanded floor
She said "that's not sand, it's salt
It will get worn like we did before"
I only wanna dance with you
Every time I try
We only get an hour or so
It's time to get personal
We've got these times of our lives
Lets take this time to let it show
These are ours.
These are ours
We sway
The moon shines down
And everybody's safe.
Christmas lights all day
And rightly so
We feel high as fuck
And everything is good
Good to go
I watch the snow fall down
Feels great to be honest
Forget about the trouble
Forget about the drama
Cause I ain't Casanova
Baby I can dance for days
This time with you
Is just amazing in so many ways
I only wanna dance with you
Every time I try
We only get an hour or so
It's time to get personal
We've got these times of our lives
Lets take this time to let it show
These are ours.
These are ours
We'll stay until we want to
That's how it use to be
We never fell apart
We stay here until we want to
Now we just sway
Come on
Dance with me
These,
These are ours
These,
These are ours
We sway
Waves crash over?
Care so much
Is there anybody here?
So I poked my head out
Through the wounded stormy night
Now I leave my door open
Crushed salt and I've gotta learn
To take flight.
Breathe in
Sway
We sway
Grabbed her by the hips and hand
Then off we went
Across the sanded floor
She said "that's not sand, it's salt
It will get worn like we did before"
I only wanna dance with you
Every time I try
We only get an hour or so
It's time to get personal
We've got these times of our lives
Lets take this time to let it show
These are ours.
These are ours
We sway
The moon shines down
And everybody's safe.
Christmas lights all day
And rightly so
We feel high as fuck
And everything is good
Good to go
I watch the snow fall down
Feels great to be honest
Forget about the trouble
Forget about the drama
Cause I ain't Casanova
Baby I can dance for days
This time with you
Is just amazing in so many ways
I only wanna dance with you
Every time I try
We only get an hour or so

We've got these times of our lives
Lets take this time to let it show
These are ours.
These are ours
We'll stay until we want to
That's how it use to be
We never fell apart
We stay here until we want to
Now we just sway
Come on
Dance with me
These,
These are ours
These,
These are ours
We sway

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.
