Yo La Tengo – Nowhere Near Lyrics 4 years ago
I think everyone else's interpretation is probably correct about it being about a crush but alternatively, it could be about someone who has recently died. The whole song could be about the love they feel for them after they have passed away and the last line "now you're nowhere near" means they died.
