I think it's about two friends, possibly a couple, who always supported each other when they were younger but then went their separate ways. The speaker is now realizing s/he still has feelings for the other person but wonders if it's simply leftover affection and memories from simpler times, when these feelings came much easier. The second verse explains how even if they met up again they could never, as adults, continue from the "children's promises" they kept when they were young.

This is absolutely one of my favorite songs from the Winterpills. Any clue as to the meaning?
