This song is about knowing you have to move on.
But the incertainty of whether that person still loves you or not, leaves you with a feeling of emptyness, indecision and hope.
You bring your hopes up, but eventually your expectations shatter and you go back to the start.
Feeling alone and sad once again, you search for any possible sign of love by that person, so that you can decieve yourself another time into thinking that he/she loves you.
It's a vicious cycle.
This is exactly how I feel since my last girlfriend left me, after three years together. Hella good song from Tame Impala!
