After watching the video, I think she feels like she and a new boy have had a love in the past [I'm talking lifetimes ago], and she's convincing the boy in the present that they belong together, which is what the chorus is.
"We were both young when I first saw you," also could be that they met lifetimes ago, thus being "young."
"So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while," sounds like she's telling him to close his eyes and see the flashback that she started in the first verse.
Also, the part that says "I got tired of waiting...," makes me think about the old stories [Romeo & Juliet, A Scarlet Letter] because it didn't work out for them, and she's saying that now it's going to work out between them, he just needs to understand.
