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.
So you ain't got all your chickens home
But from what I do recall
You don't have incurable syndromes
So don't you worry 'bout a single thing
Don't you hurry, you're a future king
I know it's all in you
Just gotta find out what you want to do
I know it's all in you
And deep inside you feel it to
They say you're lazy and you don't want to work
It's not too crazy not to want to slave, you're not a jerk
So don't you doubt about your future plan
You're a knockout and I'm your biggest fan
You know it's up to you, you always have an option
To choose what you want to do, take control or run and hide
It's OK to take a fall, if you have good intentions
As long as you give it all, you'll feel good inside
I know it's all in you
Just gotta find out what you want to do
I know it's all in you
And deep inside you feel it to
I know it's all in you
The common sense, splendid point of view
I know it's all in you
All your dreams they can come true
But from what I do recall
You don't have incurable syndromes
So don't you worry 'bout a single thing
Don't you hurry, you're a future king
I know it's all in you
Just gotta find out what you want to do
I know it's all in you
And deep inside you feel it to
They say you're lazy and you don't want to work
It's not too crazy not to want to slave, you're not a jerk
So don't you doubt about your future plan
You're a knockout and I'm your biggest fan
You know it's up to you, you always have an option
To choose what you want to do, take control or run and hide
It's OK to take a fall, if you have good intentions
As long as you give it all, you'll feel good inside
I know it's all in you
Just gotta find out what you want to do
I know it's all in you
And deep inside you feel it to
I know it's all in you
The common sense, splendid point of view
I know it's all in you
All your dreams they can come true

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,
