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.
At the end of the faraway sky
I can only believe in this painful longing for ever
I would destroy everything if it is for your dream...
In love with you, do anything for you
Beyond the flame of love
I now swear by the heart that was torn by the darkness
The world that the lives will shine:
It is the proof of my love for you.
I am hiding my tears
While I keep praying with my love held in my arms
A person who appears in my mind is only you;
Even if I had to go through hardships.
Cry out the feeling that was kept to yourself
Hard as you can cut through the darkness -- Now reach!
To you, resting in the dream ---
Proof of my love that will not change forever.
I believe that dreams surely come true someday
Until my life ends
In love with you, do anything for you.
Beyond the flame of love
I now swear by the heart that was torn by the darkness
The world that the lives will shine:
It is the proof of my love for you.
Cry out the feeling that was kept to yourself
Hard as you can cut through the darkness -- Now reach!
To you, resting in the dream ---
Proof of my love that will not change forever.
I can only believe in this painful longing for ever
I would destroy everything if it is for your dream...
In love with you, do anything for you
Beyond the flame of love
I now swear by the heart that was torn by the darkness
The world that the lives will shine:
It is the proof of my love for you.
I am hiding my tears
While I keep praying with my love held in my arms
A person who appears in my mind is only you;
Even if I had to go through hardships.
Cry out the feeling that was kept to yourself
Hard as you can cut through the darkness -- Now reach!
To you, resting in the dream ---
Proof of my love that will not change forever.
I believe that dreams surely come true someday
Until my life ends
In love with you, do anything for you.
Beyond the flame of love
I now swear by the heart that was torn by the darkness
The world that the lives will shine:
It is the proof of my love for you.
Cry out the feeling that was kept to yourself
Hard as you can cut through the darkness -- Now reach!
To you, resting in the dream ---
Proof of my love that will not change forever.

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.
