I think this song is a "first try" at "Hey Darling" from their new album. In her book, Carrie said that they are constantly using new songs to refine and reflect on the older songs. She used different examples, but I think this one is pretty obvious, especially considering how they used this song in their 2015 tour for No Cities to Love.
The song is about the band staying together. "Come so far come close together/ Don't tear apart what we worked for." In Hey Darling, the meaning coalesces into, "I was meant to be/ Infinitely by your side/ Distractions always hit but/ We're good this time." It's easy to oversimplify this song, and calling it romantic isn't wrong. But it's a romantic song about the band and their friendships.
