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”
there's something in the gold that we're digging
the ground is sore but the axe still falls
and still we mine for fame and for fortune
and fall asleep each night against the bankrupt walls
your instruments
your tools for removal
their every swing just quotes the ghosts of other tries
so heavy now it gets hard to remember
how they ever could have felt so light
your lungs collapse
semi-precious but necessary
you can clutch at dust or run for open sky
outside the walls
escaping birds chase the air
bursting out into that real world blinding light
there's something in the gold we're digging
there's something in the air down here
will you hold whatever hand will have you
will you be what's needed year to year
the ground is sore but the axe still falls
and still we mine for fame and for fortune
and fall asleep each night against the bankrupt walls
your instruments
your tools for removal
their every swing just quotes the ghosts of other tries
so heavy now it gets hard to remember
how they ever could have felt so light
your lungs collapse
semi-precious but necessary
you can clutch at dust or run for open sky
outside the walls
escaping birds chase the air
bursting out into that real world blinding light
there's something in the gold we're digging
there's something in the air down here
will you hold whatever hand will have you
will you be what's needed year to year

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.
