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”
It's not far to go it's not far at all
It's not far to go you're not far at all
Pools out back waters so cold
There's not much said that I don't know
The difference between frozen hands and feet
You come right out and you ask me
Nobody ever asks me
In the pool out back water to my chest
Towel lying in the grass
It looks a lot worse than it seems
But you know, baby, that's just me
Baby, there you go
That's just me, baby
There you go
That's just, baby
There you go that's just me
It's not far to go you're not far at all
And darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin', yeah
Looking for a laugh
want to stop back when you're
Done whining and taking things back
I'll be there as always
Feet submerged and probably frozen
We can only hope that I'll be frozen
Enough of that as if I care
As if I need to know like I was there
But if I was you just call my name,
Call my name and I'll be there
If you call my name you know I'll be there
Baby, you're so far away
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
You couldn't stop the world for a moment
In the middle of good-bye
You stop in to say hi
Is it all right
Is it all right if I
Hi is it all right
Is it alright if I
Hi is it alright
Is it all right if I
Hi is it all right
Is it all right
Pools out back water so cold
There's not much said
Then I don't know the difference
Between frozen hands and feet
You come right out and you ask me
It's not far to go
It's not far at all
It's not far to go you're not far at all
Pools out back waters so cold
There's not much said that I don't know
The difference between frozen hands and feet
You come right out and you ask me
Nobody ever asks me
In the pool out back water to my chest
Towel lying in the grass
It looks a lot worse than it seems
But you know, baby, that's just me
Baby, there you go
That's just me, baby
There you go
That's just, baby
There you go that's just me
It's not far to go you're not far at all
And darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin', yeah
Looking for a laugh
want to stop back when you're
Done whining and taking things back
I'll be there as always
Feet submerged and probably frozen
We can only hope that I'll be frozen
Enough of that as if I care
As if I need to know like I was there
But if I was you just call my name,
Call my name and I'll be there
If you call my name you know I'll be there
Baby, you're so far away
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
You couldn't stop the world for a moment
In the middle of good-bye
You stop in to say hi
Is it all right
Is it all right if I
Hi is it all right
Is it alright if I
Hi is it alright
Is it all right if I
Hi is it all right
Is it all right
Pools out back water so cold
There's not much said
Then I don't know the difference
Between frozen hands and feet
You come right out and you ask me
It's not far to go
It's not far at all

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.

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,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
last night sara said that this song was about one time when her mom and her mom's friends were drunk in the backyard and her mom fell into the wading pool... haha.
