We shouldn't forget that the title is "Beauty in the Breakdown." It isn't mentioned anywhere in the song, so I think it really is like a caption for the scene. It has to be about a relationship breaking down, but they are slowly finding their way because of it.
I actually think it might have to do with being in a relationship while on tour with a band also. In the first verse the singer is trying to coax the girl to trust him just for a second, saying that even when he doesn't have the music anymore he'll still have her.
In the chorus, she thinks it's useless, they're not in love, but he says they're young and don't have to figure that out yet.
In the second verse, he tries to help her remember when their relationship was healthy and happy, and says that if she gives him time she will see him grow into a bigger man. Also, he is running away from the town they grew up in, on tour with his band.
She says in the bridge that she wants to stay in the town, but he promises to write and try to stay emotionally close to her.
I think the song is basically the girl having doubts in the relationship and the guy trying to reassure her that everything's fine.

you just described like the last year of my life only the roles were reversed and neither of us is in a band, but otherwise dead on
