My interpretation is that it is about a couple's journey in life.
In the beginning he proposes to have a (long term) relationship “Let's run together"
And to discover new things "And we'll go somewhere warmer" "And we'll go somewhere new"
She accepts to be with him in a relationship: "Now we're having fun" "Now we're living life"
After this point a second proposal comes: "Let's jump together". The “jump” is a very important decision, after taking it they cannot change it. I assume the decision is to have a baby (a girl).
