I think this song is trying to say how: remember the way times were, how it was better then, how we felt it wouldn't end and we were so caught up in that one moment that it seemed everlasting.
The most beautiful part is when he says 'they never told me this would end, or that the leaves would fall again'. Kind of saying how there was no warning from anyone that things would change or ultimately 'end'. There was no pattern or cause and effect. I think the leaves falling again symbolises the loss of summer, evidence showing that that time has gone.
