Somewhere along the lines of a man wanting to come back to a women he loves after being away from her for a long time. With the "for the summer" line, I can't tell if its just a playful question he asks or if he's begging to come back to her, but I guess that's the beauty of being poetic whereas you can make your own interpretation. With the the last few lines of the song, I feel its his relationship advice and justifications for being away from someone he loves: his travelling/break up and eventual reunion made him realize how he'll "follow her" because he "loves her" and without this time apart he wouldn't have found out He just "wanted to know" if she was the one.
