I've been scared
Not like this
You lose things, I lost it
Just please reach from somewhere

My heart is done
It's too scared
I've never wished this before now
If I said I did I take it all back

You have to go all the way
To know where it is
All the way down
You know what you'd stop for

When you're running from your worst fear
That you need it
Now I'm fading
This is what I'd like to lay in

I've never wished this before now
Now I know all the long steps down
This time my eyes close like this
I know my last thoughts

I know my last wish
To not be wishing
To not have broke this
To feel what I'm missing

Somehow I broke it
I only know breaking
And what I want to lie in

    It's obvious. She's lost the person she was with, whether leaving them herself or she being the dumped party. Either way, she's worried that she might have just permanently lost the best thing that ever happened to her. She doesn't know exactly what she did wrong ("somehow i broke it"), but this is one of the final straws in the hay pile of mistakes she's made ("i only know breaking"). She knows exactly what she wants, though, and it's the person she just lost ("and what i want to lie in" - leading into lie in the sound, I'm assuming).

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
