The song suggests nothing about same sex relationships, or large age differences. I sympathize with the difficulties of gay people, but the gay angle is wild projection.
Here it appears that someone is taking a risk with someone with whom he has a history. He is not sure how his overture will be received, but when he thinks of the future, he feels an urgency in trying to get the other to go "walk" with him. Theirs seems a tender and fragile relationship - the other seems unsure as well, and he is not sure how well it would turn out... whether they will make it. In any case, he wants to know the odds to know if he has a chance to make it work.
