This song is quite simply about taking a break in a relationship in the promise that you will return to them because you will always have feelings for them.
He is leaving, metaphorically or not, but will return when the journey is over - perhaps the journey is discovering what he really wants or maybe it's giving himself some time to think.
"If I stay with you and linger here another moment
I would fade into the scenery; you wouldn't even see me
I've got nothing left to offer you, it's not that I don't care..."
He's basically saying that the novelty of the relationship has worn off and he feels invisible to his other half, as she's more preoccupied with other things. He feels as if there isn't a point in staying where he's not really needed at that moment.
"Wait for me, keep our love alive"
He still loves her and wants to be with her but they both need some time and space.
He doesn't want her to meet anyone else while he is away.
