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”
Against the odds, the shining star crashed down on me
I was just wondering
If you had a cure, a remedy
Would you give it up?
To fix my broken dreams
Would you come with me?
Running, I’m running
Home. To the place where I belong
I don’t want to stay
Would you come rescue me before I go insane
I don’t know what went wrong but it’s over now
In the end you would leave me for another guy
In the night when I don’t want to be alone
When I don’t want to watch another TV show
I look around and I wonder where you’d be
I don’t need you. You need me, why can’t you see
These lies don’t work for me
Without me what would you be?
I was just wondering, why you’re still in my head
I don’t know if I’m going to stay
Will I go away?
Would you come?
Rescue me before I go insane
I don’t know what went wrong
But it’s over now
In the end, you would leave me for another guy
These lies don’t work for me
Without me what would you be?
I was just wondering why you’re still in my head
I don’t know if I’m going to stay
Will I go away?
Would you come?
Rescue me before I go insane
I don’t know what went wrong
But it’s over now
In the end, you would leave me for another guy
I was just wondering
If you had a cure, a remedy
Would you give it up?
To fix my broken dreams
Would you come with me?
Running, I’m running
Home. To the place where I belong
I don’t want to stay
Would you come rescue me before I go insane
I don’t know what went wrong but it’s over now
In the end you would leave me for another guy
In the night when I don’t want to be alone
When I don’t want to watch another TV show
I look around and I wonder where you’d be
I don’t need you. You need me, why can’t you see
These lies don’t work for me
Without me what would you be?
I was just wondering, why you’re still in my head
I don’t know if I’m going to stay
Will I go away?
Would you come?
Rescue me before I go insane
I don’t know what went wrong
But it’s over now
In the end, you would leave me for another guy
These lies don’t work for me
Without me what would you be?
I was just wondering why you’re still in my head
I don’t know if I’m going to stay
Will I go away?
Would you come?
Rescue me before I go insane
I don’t know what went wrong
But it’s over now
In the end, you would leave me for another guy

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.
the chorus is wrong it's if it burns I'll keep feuling the same dream if you fall I'll remember to save game
