This is my interpretation of the song, been listening to it for years but just recently figured out its meaning. Well at first I thought it's about a long distance relationship obviously but I think this new interpretation makes more sense.
Where to go I had no idea, 26.10 was the price to pay
-He's not sure whether to call her or not (26.10 was the price for a long distance call)
A messed up kid with no ideals at all, I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give 'em away
-He's being prideful like a kid and decides not to call her
I remember this young guy died and I took his part, He got far too many stitches on his pretty face
-He felt like a different person from before when he was with her and very happy and now that they parted ways and he's very sad and hurt
Long time no see but I always thought us two would be serious, I was looking around town thinking the same as you
-He always thought they were meant for each other so he's wondering why their relationship cannot survive long distance
I'm far gone but your long distance call and you're capital letters keep me asking for more
-They were far apart but she's always giving him a call. The constant communication made them feel like they were together, that's how it's supposed to be.
It's never been like that 8x
-But it never happened because they ignored each other instead.
Where to go I had no idea about it, Most of the people do, they're only doing just fine
-He's still wondering of what happened to the relationship but he has to keep living, he decides to just go with the flow hoping that someday he will be fine
I don't want to stay in place no more, See ain't doing well, well, well, I'm only doing just fine
-He wants and tries to move on but he can't, he still loves her very much. He pretends he has moved on though
Long time no see, long time no say, Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might
-He hasn't seen and spoken to her for a while. There are many things he wanted to tell her but he cannot because of pride and fear of getting hurt
Something always told me us two would be serious, I was looking around town thinking the same as you
-He always thought they were meant for each other so he was left wondering why their relationship cannot survive long distance.
Summary: The song is about two people who are in relationship, more likely unofficial (mutual understanding) because he wasn't able to tell her his real feelings. They parted ways for some reasons like to pursue their dreams/school/career etc. Both felt sadness because of the separation and confusion on how to act towards each other since their relationship is unofficial. Eventually, both prioritized their pride. They acted like nothing happened and just ignored each other because of fear of rejection, getting hurt, going through a long distance relationship. They may have even thought that distance will make them forget each other but it only made them miss each other even more.
In short, the song is about two immature people who are in love with each other and both waiting for the other to make the first move.

Well, this line makes your translation a big sense: I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
