The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Think of days with no hopes
So all alone in the dark I cried so many tears
Now I know, now I know
The page was turning chapter one in my book of love
But you came here to show me that dreams can come true
I want you to know my heart glows from your touch
In your arms all the pain inside washes right through
Together we'll find a way
I believe your love, I believe in our love
No matter what I know our aim is true
Every step we take our love will grow stronger
I wish that two hearts could be one
Here we are, hand in hand,
We watch the stars up in the sky,
They're shining down on us
We can share every day in every way
We hold the promises of tomorrow
Hold me tight, wanna feel you close
So don't let me go
I want us to be until the end of time
Call my name any time when your heart feels sorrow
I'll wipe the tears from your face
I'll be there for you, I'll be right by your side
I promise to cherish eternally
You're the only one to get me through this life
I wish that our hearts could be one
Seasons are changing
Snow's coming down now
Melting from traces of our love
Never be alone forever more
I believe your love, I believe in our love
No matter what I know our aim is true
Every step we take our love will grow stronger
I wish that two hearts could be one
I'll be there for you, I'll be right by your side
I promise to cherish eternally
You're the only one to get me through this life
I wish that our hearts could be one
I wish that our hearts could be one
So all alone in the dark I cried so many tears
Now I know, now I know
The page was turning chapter one in my book of love
But you came here to show me that dreams can come true
I want you to know my heart glows from your touch
In your arms all the pain inside washes right through
Together we'll find a way
I believe your love, I believe in our love
No matter what I know our aim is true
Every step we take our love will grow stronger
I wish that two hearts could be one
Here we are, hand in hand,
We watch the stars up in the sky,
They're shining down on us
We can share every day in every way
We hold the promises of tomorrow
Hold me tight, wanna feel you close
So don't let me go
I want us to be until the end of time
Call my name any time when your heart feels sorrow
I'll wipe the tears from your face
I'll be there for you, I'll be right by your side
I promise to cherish eternally
You're the only one to get me through this life
I wish that our hearts could be one
Seasons are changing
Snow's coming down now
Melting from traces of our love
Never be alone forever more
I believe your love, I believe in our love
No matter what I know our aim is true
Every step we take our love will grow stronger
I wish that two hearts could be one
I'll be there for you, I'll be right by your side
I promise to cherish eternally
You're the only one to get me through this life
I wish that our hearts could be one
I wish that our hearts could be one

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.
