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.
Uh, sign it over
I could give you double, baby
Bend it over
I'ma hit it double, baby
Spend it all
I'ma make it back double
What's he doing for you? Nothing
Nothing but trouble, baby
Burning rubber
I got a brand new foreign
I don't drive it that much, I'm touring
Every time that I shoot, I'm scoring, baby
What's he mean to you?
What's he really mean to you?
I don't give a fuck, girl
Come and swoop you up, baby, yeah
I could change your whole damn life in a day
Why would you wait on a train that's never coming, girl?
I could give you double, baby
Why would you wait? Why would you wait on a man that's never growing up?
Yeah, I know you don't wanna be that girl that's fucking what's his face
And what's that shit, I think I saw him in?
He ain't gonna rock with ya, talk with ya all the time, like I do
I could give you anything that you like, babe
Seeing double
I been drinking double, baby
Seeing colors
Feel like I'm hallucinating
Doing numbers
Every show is sold out
Labels still calling
I started balling
We turn 'em all the fuck down
Turn on the hot tub
Skinny dipping, bubbles, baby
Set the mood right
I ain't really clubbing lately
Know you wrapped up
In the wrong relationship
You read each other's texts and shit
I'd rather read your body language
I could change your whole damn life in a day
Why would you wait on a train that's never coming, girl?
(It's never coming, ooh, it's never coming, girl)
I could give you double, baby
Why would you wait?
Why would you wait on a man that's never growing up?
I could change your whole damn life in a day
Why would you wait on a train that's never coming, girl?
I could give you double, baby
Why would you wait?
Why would you wait on a man that's never growing up?
Yeah, I know you don't wanna be that girl that's fucking what's his face
And what's that shit, I think I saw him with?
He ain't gonna rock with ya, talk with ya all the time, like I do
I could give you anything that you like, babe (that you like, babe)
I could give you anything
Why would you wait? Why would you wait on a man who's never growing up?
I can give you anything
Why would you wait? Why would you wait on a man who's never growing up?
I could give you double, baby
Bend it over
I'ma hit it double, baby
Spend it all
I'ma make it back double

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.
