I was disappointed there was not more information on this song, which I love, but have no idea what the artists were going for when they wrote it. Perhaps that's the best part of a great song, it can mean something different to everyone. I personally had one summer, where my life was transformed by a relationship which eventually ended, so this song always produces a lot of nostalgia in me. Though it was much longer ago than "last summer" the tag-line "and then suddenly, last summer" captures how memories can come out of nowhere and magically transport us back to a happier time. It can take "all of my will" to shake that off, and not get stuck in the past.
