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”
We grow apart just to be on our own
And we walk right next to all that we have known
Give me your hand, we can climb further up
And we climb the trees and the forest seems to be bigger now
Oh we had so much more
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
We take our time, to see what is up ahead
But we're scared of the past and what is left
We'll stay inside and never let out our hands
And we'll pretend that the world, it will never end
No, it will never end
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
(One, two, three, four)
I could feel it blowing in the night wind
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
Why don't you come back down so we can turn it around
Why don't you ever know just to let it go
'Cause nothing comes around for you
So bring me back from one to two
And tell me what else I could do
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
(One, two, three, four)
I could feel it blowing in the night wind
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
Why don't you come back down so we can turn it around
And we walk right next to all that we have known
Give me your hand, we can climb further up
And we climb the trees and the forest seems to be bigger now
Oh we had so much more
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
We take our time, to see what is up ahead
But we're scared of the past and what is left
We'll stay inside and never let out our hands
And we'll pretend that the world, it will never end
No, it will never end
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
(One, two, three, four)
I could feel it blowing in the night wind
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
Why don't you come back down so we can turn it around
Why don't you ever know just to let it go
'Cause nothing comes around for you
So bring me back from one to two
And tell me what else I could do
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
(One, two, three, four)
I could feel it blowing in the night wind
I could tell that something wasn't right with you, with you
Why don't you come back down so we can turn it around

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,
