In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Oh, you love to hear her moan
And when you come around
And hope that she is alone
'Cause the weather makes the sound
Its alright she says...
Come inside she says...
Come inside...
My love, call it skin beneath the moonlight
Was a vision of a better time
When you and I have different lives
Is something the matter?
No, she brought him to the finish line
Saying you will learn in due time
She shook and moaned and spread her thighs
Oh it's alright she said...
Come inside she said...
Come inside...
This is...
How hope is gone
This is...
How hope was lost
Now hope is gone
Well you know, that thing before that bothered me
The man who owns me rightfully
Has quite a hefty policy
Well accidents happen
So, with an implication in the air
I turned an bolted out of there
She followed and made me aware
I'll get what I want
If you don't, I'll tell you how my story goes
He broke into the window
With me in just like any clothes
You made me undress, then...
You came inside she said...
Get back inside she said...
Get back inside...
So this is...
How hope is gone
Now I know...
I know
How hope was lost
And when you come around
And hope that she is alone
'Cause the weather makes the sound
Its alright she says...
Come inside she says...
Come inside...
My love, call it skin beneath the moonlight
Was a vision of a better time
When you and I have different lives
Is something the matter?
No, she brought him to the finish line
Saying you will learn in due time
She shook and moaned and spread her thighs
Oh it's alright she said...
Come inside she said...
Come inside...
This is...
How hope is gone
This is...
How hope was lost
Now hope is gone
Well you know, that thing before that bothered me
The man who owns me rightfully
Has quite a hefty policy
Well accidents happen
So, with an implication in the air
I turned an bolted out of there
She followed and made me aware
I'll get what I want
If you don't, I'll tell you how my story goes
He broke into the window
With me in just like any clothes
You made me undress, then...
You came inside she said...
Get back inside she said...
Get back inside...
So this is...
How hope is gone
Now I know...
I know
How hope was lost

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,

i rly love this song and wat i think is...it has much to do with the greek mythology of pandora's box....the whole thing bout temptation of opening the box is like the temptation of making love to a beautiful woman and on the box side of it all...opening pandora's box brought pain,misery,and most of all...loss of hope so i rly think HURT did an excelent job with song as i am a sucker for greek mythology lol
