I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this is about his girlfriend in Australia. This is the same girl he sings about in other songs, such as An Ocean Between.
Now, about the lyrics. These may have been the demo lyrics, or what he sang live, but they changed a little bit on The Bright Lights EP:
I couldn't stand to be in that place
I was just about to leave
When I saw your face
You were laughing at me
With your beautiful mouth
You said, "You're looking miserable.
Do you want to get out?"
When you're only 18
And you got nothing to lose
And your living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
(I said) Falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
We fell in love
With the windows rolled down
Chasing the sunset
Through another empty town
Your hair was a mess
When you would dance on the coast
Your silhouette
Like some heavenly ghost
When you're only 18
And you got nothing to lose
And your living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
(I said) Falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
Summer skies
And warm colored sunsets
And a sunrise
Sneaking through my blinds
My demise, I just can't help but feel so lost
Falling in love is easy to do
With the wind in your hair
And the sand in your shoes
And though it may hurt
To have your heart broken in two
That didn't stop me from falling for you
When you're only 18
And you got nothing to lose
And your living a dream
With the sand in your shoes
(I said) Falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
When you're dancing on the beach
Where the water meets your feet
And a cool ocean breeze
Is fighting the heat
(I said) Falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
It's easy to do
Oh, I'm falling for you
