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”
[Del]
You wan lock horns, just cause you got scorned
wanna get your plot on? D got forms of
warm receptions, important perceptions
so foreign projections in the projects, keep me
protected, cause secret objections we greet with
aggression, we teach em' a lesson we breach the
deception, we eat ya' for breakfast complete the
suggestion, defeating oppression the weak will retreat
with a weapon, if the walls will cease
then I'm all for peace, that's my core belief
so why would I wanna war and beef, I don't need more to eat
so I don't horde the meat, the lure of the streets
is sure to keep, weak motherfuckers trying ta beat
motherfuckers I, seek and disrupt the frame of mind
that's corrupted, skim haters of they grim nature
strugglin' to get paper while they spit vapor.....
[Hook]
famous facists aiming plane crashes
insane clashes, the war of the masses
caskets, cremated to ashes
in this disastrous, world war of the masses
remain passive or aim and blast it
the past is, gone it's the war of the masses
[Virt]
as we checking out of the second millenium
hear the reckoning beckoning
prefects are involved in religious lecturing
infecting in the peoples mind, evil festering
questioning they lessons and they ride on you like
an equestrian, psychotic off anti-biotics
and chemical bi-products the medicals try on us
I promise that every word is a comet
a bom for the congress, who claim to see beyond Nostradamus
you can rely on bibles if you need a guide to
provide you with vital knowledge thats born inside you
my haiku typhoon remind you
false idols blind you, crucify and bind you
why do the mass of us not see cash we lust
half of us need dough but people slash they cut
then pass the crust, most leave little for those after us
from ass and nut to ash and dust
[Hook]
[V:] The mercenaries we sent to retrieve the verse of aries
cursed to carry dead weight on our backs like hearsts that bury
[D:] Jerks immersed in the worst affairs we could describe
the impact of lies on earth is scary
business to witness, but Del and Virtch are very
revolutionary
[V:] Immune to any torture tactics
practice to beat the system lilke victims of an abusive family
[D:] Then who can we trust?
[V:] few if any
confusion led me to abuse the henny
but then the music let me see that there was
better ways to use my pennies
[D:] using various options, choosing every concoction
cause losings an illusion I foster
like who is your partner, he doing the cha-cha
I see through it cause I do what I got ta'
[V:] the fluid we author, for your mind shine
lucid to oculars, and magnify the truth like binoculars

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.
