The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Talk to me baby
Oh?
Never find a love like this
Oh?
Hey, let's go!
Never find a love like this
We go back so far
Swinging in your back yard
All the things that we used to do
We were cool back in high school
Oh I really liked you
Must have been your attitude
That's why you keep on running
In and out of my mind
As the years they'll roll by
Baby, now I know why
I keep coming back to you
You're the only one that knows me
Love it when you hold me
Never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've shown me
Never find a love like this
Well this life tried to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me
Wrap your world around me
Never find a love like this
All the guys tried to take me
You're the one who saved me
I feel like I owe you my life
And as strange as it may seem
I'll go if you take me
I'm willing to sacrifice
That's why you keep on running
In and out of my mind
As the years they'll roll by
Baby, now I know why
I keep coming back to you
You're the only one that knows me
Love it when you hold me
Never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've shown me
Never find a love like this
'Cause this life tried to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your hear
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me
Wrap you all around me
Never find a love like this
May never find a love, love, love a love like this
That still make me think about my middle school kiss
I sit here in this chair and I wish
For you not to leave me now
My friends they always told me
Not to make you my wifey
Man they was putting you down
And now they see we rolling
Me and you, we strolling
They don't wanna come around
Let me hear you say
You're the only one that knows me
Love it when you hold me
Never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've shown me
Never find a love like this
When this life tries to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me
Wrap you all around me
Never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Now I'll never be lonely
Look at what you've show me
Never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this?
When this life tried to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh, never find a love like this
Oh?
Never find a love like this
Oh?
Hey, let's go!
Never find a love like this
We go back so far
Swinging in your back yard

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”

Yo La Tengo
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,
