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”
Here we go!
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place
Oh god I better figure this out
My heart is racing while you lay down
You've got the answer on the tip of your tongue
I'll kiss you and touch you then the truth will come
Look in my eyes, I'm in love, please believe me
A kiss and a touch, girl, you aim to deceive me
What am I supposed to do without you?
This is a game and I'll play if you want to
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place
This is it, I'm leaving tonight
My back was turned and she used a knife
You broke my heart, you know damn well
Don't touch me now, don't cast your spell
Look in my eyes, I'm in love, please believe me
A kiss and a touch, girl, you aim to deceive me
What am I supposed to do without you?
This is a game and I'll play if you want to
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place
This is it
This is it
This is it
Bye, my dear
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place
Oh god I better figure this out
My heart is racing while you lay down
You've got the answer on the tip of your tongue
I'll kiss you and touch you then the truth will come
Look in my eyes, I'm in love, please believe me
A kiss and a touch, girl, you aim to deceive me
What am I supposed to do without you?
This is a game and I'll play if you want to
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place
This is it, I'm leaving tonight
My back was turned and she used a knife
You broke my heart, you know damn well
Don't touch me now, don't cast your spell
Look in my eyes, I'm in love, please believe me
A kiss and a touch, girl, you aim to deceive me
What am I supposed to do without you?
This is a game and I'll play if you want to
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place
This is it
This is it
This is it
Bye, my dear
Call me over, I'll be sleeping on your bed
Kill me softly, I'll be writing the words you said
I just wanna see your face
I just wanna, wanna see your face
Come and get me out of this place
Come and get me out of this place

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.
