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”
Drinking water to stay thin
Or is it to purify?
I love you all the same
But there's no, no real truce with my fury
You don't have to believe me
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
And you stole the sun from, ah
You have broken through my armour
And I don't have an answer, I
I love you all the same
I paint the things I want to see
But it don't come easy, I
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
And you stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
Think I'm, I'm lost among the undergrowth
So much so I woke up but
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
I have, I gotta stop smiling
It gives the wrong impression and I
I love you all the same
Or is it to purify?
I love you all the same
But there's no, no real truce with my fury
You don't have to believe me
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
And you stole the sun from, ah
You have broken through my armour
And I don't have an answer, I
I love you all the same
I paint the things I want to see
But it don't come easy, I
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
And you stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
Think I'm, I'm lost among the undergrowth
So much so I woke up but
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
I have, I gotta stop smiling
It gives the wrong impression and I
I love you all the same

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
I'd have to agree with paulothemanio. It sure is appealing and generally pretty but nothing special in my opinion. I don't really fancy the lyrics.
