Sounds like a new long-term relationship. Starts off with them talking on the phone with him wanting to say something that was on his mind but knows he should hold off, "ah shit it just came out" (been there, done that). He wants her to still be his and is happy with her dressed-down, low-maintenance perhaps, "cool" dresscode because it doesn't scream to get other guys attention and is more likely to keep her as his girlfriend.

Chorus... she's out of town for now, she's on his mind but when he talks to her he's reassured and good again. Second verse... he has to be careful to not leave things on a sour note when they have arguements because you never know what's truly going on on her end (and who she may vent to, perhaps). Instead of getting mad, he bites his tongue and keeps things on the up-and-up.
