I don't think this song is about being separated by distance at all. I think the narrator's partner is restless and impulsive. He/she wants to run, see, live, do... I think their relationship is on the rocks and he/she thinks if he/she runs away and lives hisher dreams all will be well.
In the beginning of the song she's saying... you CAN leave this house leave this town... but she doesn't want him to. "ti think you should learn to dream just like the dreamers do"
At the end she says you SHOULD leave this house leave this town... she wants him to love her with every step he takes, not just because it's a comfortable habit (we've all been there) and so she tells him to go! she realizes he needs to go "all that's left to chart is nothing less then your own heart..."
and maybe then he will realize she's where he belongs after all. (The farther he gets.... the more he'll see)

Just my two cents.
