This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
So this is how it ends
In separate beds
A wall between us
And this is how it dies
Separate our lives
And hope it heals us
I chose the love of strangers
I chose the fickle crowd
And the woman I wagered
Won't look at me right now
(not now)
I know I've been like a house cat
Give me this, give me that
And I know I'll be okay
But beg for my attention
Or work from my affection
I just stare and walk away
How can I show you
I'd do all I could do
to show you I adore you?
Olivia
And the days go by
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes
oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die
And this feels like
common madness
Why this wasted life?
come to me
The photographer is lucky
does he even know my name?
Does he know I'd give it all up
f I only could be here?
But I used all my chances
(and a few after that)
Now I'm floating in the ashes
Olivia
And the days go by
in a supplicated style
hand me the anodynes
Oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die
And this feels like
common madness
why this wasted life?
Come to me
In separate beds
A wall between us
And this is how it dies
Separate our lives
And hope it heals us
I chose the love of strangers
I chose the fickle crowd
And the woman I wagered
Won't look at me right now
(not now)
I know I've been like a house cat
Give me this, give me that
And I know I'll be okay
But beg for my attention
Or work from my affection
I just stare and walk away
How can I show you
I'd do all I could do
to show you I adore you?
Olivia
And the days go by
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes
oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die
And this feels like
common madness
Why this wasted life?
come to me
The photographer is lucky
does he even know my name?
Does he know I'd give it all up
f I only could be here?
But I used all my chances
(and a few after that)
Now I'm floating in the ashes
Olivia
And the days go by
in a supplicated style
hand me the anodynes
Oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die
And this feels like
common madness
why this wasted life?
Come to me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
