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.
I feel like walking
Do you feel like coming?
I feel like talking cause
It's been a long time
Now your hair is long
And you look so thin
You're always so pale
But something has changed
You're almost a man
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Long time no see
Long time wondering
What you were doing
Who you were seeing
I wish I could go back to it
I feel like walking
Do you feel like coming?
I feel like crying cause
It's been a long time
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
(Can you feel the same?)
I will never love again
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
(Can you feel the same?)
I will never love again
I will never love again
Do you feel like coming?
I feel like talking cause
It's been a long time
Now your hair is long
And you look so thin
You're always so pale
But something has changed
You're almost a man
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Long time no see
Long time wondering
What you were doing
Who you were seeing
I wish I could go back to it
I feel like walking
Do you feel like coming?
I feel like crying cause
It's been a long time
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
I will never love again
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
(Can you feel the same?)
I will never love again
I will never love again
Can you feel the same?
(Can you feel the same?)
I will never love again
I will never love again

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,
