I think this song is him talking to an old childhood friend. A little girl who was probably his best friend that he grew to love more. They seem to have tried to have a relationship but it didn't work out so they're not friends anymore. and he misses her and how she used to be. he misses their childhood and friendship and just the innocence of it all. i think the whole "afraid to fly" thing is referencing his emotions now that she is missing in his life.
