Who knows which one of us will stay
I think it's time
For making it real again
I know it's hard to say goodbye
But if we try
We might get the feel again
Who knows which one of us will stay
And either way
These things we don't comprehend
To put our differences apart
Then we can start
By making amends again
How can I live in the past now
I'm trying to think the future
We always live in the past now
We should be living the future
[Chorus]
I don't really care about it
Nothing stays the same
I don't really care about it
Nothing seems to change
Repeat
I know which one of us will leave
Hard to conceive
That we'd ever fall again
And in the end I know we'll see
That you and me will finally breathe again
How can I live in the past now
I'm trying to think the future
We always live in the past now
We should be living the future
[Chorus]
Who are you
To take all the pain away
Sometimes I Feel like I want to do
If I were you
I'd be trying to change myself
[Chorus]
I think it's time
For making it real again
I know it's hard to say goodbye
But if we try
We might get the feel again
Who knows which one of us will stay
And either way
These things we don't comprehend
To put our differences apart
Then we can start
By making amends again
How can I live in the past now
I'm trying to think the future
We always live in the past now
We should be living the future
[Chorus]
I don't really care about it
Nothing stays the same
I don't really care about it
Nothing seems to change
Repeat
I know which one of us will leave
Hard to conceive
That we'd ever fall again
And in the end I know we'll see
That you and me will finally breathe again
How can I live in the past now
I'm trying to think the future
We always live in the past now
We should be living the future
[Chorus]
Who are you
To take all the pain away
Sometimes I Feel like I want to do
If I were you
I'd be trying to change myself
[Chorus]

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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 can go many ways, Like two lovers trying like hell to get things back to happiness, or trying to put hard times behind yourself. Ive only listened to the whole thing once, but I believe that Ive found a new song that I'll always fall on for hard times.
