This song is about two ex-lovers who are still or attempt to be friends. I think it may be about Sarah's first love ("teenage girl in you") in high school or somewhere in those years. They may have been perfect and compatible in every way from music to ideas about life; possibly soul mates. They helped each other grow into better persons along the way and discovered qualities about themselves and each other; each was a catalyst to the other's significant change.
However, I think time, circumstance and other life issues overshadowed those things. Timing seemed to have been off. And so they had gone their separate ways; each living a life in without each other.
They still know that the other has had such an impact in their life that even if they live separate lives without each other, each one's autobiography will always have a special place for the other; maybe a paragraph...or a chapter.
That's just what I think. I can be totally wrong..=)
