"Stay out of trouble, stay in touch, try not to think about me too much."
That part really stays with me. This is a goodbye song, but at the same time it's a wistful goodbye. He still wants to be with her, and still thinks about all the times that they had, but he knows that things have to change eventually. But he doesn't want to let go, he wants to "stay in touch." At the same time, he wants to spare her the pain of thinking about him constantly, knowing that things will never been the same again. I don't think this is a breakup; I think it's a forced separation.
This is such a beautiful song. I love these artists!
