This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
if you're down you got no place to sleep
if you're lost and alone
if you get tired of the company you're keeping
baby you can always come home
when you're gone to the cities of babylon
beaten by sticks and stones
when you're left to the tender mercies of the merciless
baby you can always come home
and if you fall and come undone you can call
we'll come running
if they got you locked in chains we'll bust you out again
we'll get you right back in the game
and if you wander far and wide we don't care where you been
'cause when you got to come home we got to take you in
when you're walking the desert with the devil
he's tearing the flesh from your bones
when they won't have you anywhere else
baby you can always come home
when you're down at the bottom of the river
weeds in your hair and a mouthful of stones
we're still right here we've been waiting for you
baby you can always come home
and if you wander far and wide
we don't care where you been 'cause
when you got to come home we got to take you in
got your old room waiting
baby you can always come home
if you're lost and alone
if you get tired of the company you're keeping
baby you can always come home
when you're gone to the cities of babylon
beaten by sticks and stones
when you're left to the tender mercies of the merciless
baby you can always come home
and if you fall and come undone you can call
we'll come running
if they got you locked in chains we'll bust you out again
we'll get you right back in the game
and if you wander far and wide we don't care where you been
'cause when you got to come home we got to take you in
when you're walking the desert with the devil
he's tearing the flesh from your bones
when they won't have you anywhere else
baby you can always come home
when you're down at the bottom of the river
weeds in your hair and a mouthful of stones
we're still right here we've been waiting for you
baby you can always come home
and if you wander far and wide
we don't care where you been 'cause
when you got to come home we got to take you in
got your old room waiting
baby you can always come home

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”

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
