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.
We roll up like no one can do it baby
It's lights out, turn the fucking system up
It's one night rolling through your town tonite
So stand up, Space and Cinema Bizarre
So get up, nod your head and tell me
It's what's up, it's getting hot and heavy
The phone's on, take a picture we don't care
So get up, let me hear you sing it out
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
We all stars, you and me and her together
We go hard, we don't give a fuck whatever
It's one night, throw your fucking cameras up and
Let's go, it's Cherry Boom and Red One
So get up, nod your head and tell me
It's what's up, it's getting hot and heavy
The phone's on, take a picture we don't care
And if you got one, put your drink up in the air, air, air
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
Doesn't matter anyway, know that we can't stay
Know you had a boyfriend anyway
Got my picture on your phone when you're all alone
Know we got to go, let me hear you sing it out
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
It's lights out, turn the fucking system up
It's one night rolling through your town tonite
So stand up, Space and Cinema Bizarre
So get up, nod your head and tell me
It's what's up, it's getting hot and heavy
The phone's on, take a picture we don't care
So get up, let me hear you sing it out
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
We all stars, you and me and her together
We go hard, we don't give a fuck whatever
It's one night, throw your fucking cameras up and
Let's go, it's Cherry Boom and Red One
So get up, nod your head and tell me
It's what's up, it's getting hot and heavy
The phone's on, take a picture we don't care
And if you got one, put your drink up in the air, air, air
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
Doesn't matter anyway, know that we can't stay
Know you had a boyfriend anyway
Got my picture on your phone when you're all alone
Know we got to go, let me hear you sing it out
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?
I came to party and you came to party
So why don't we party together ?

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.
