Thing that really sticks out to me here is 'and when I promised my hand he promised me back snow cherries from France'. They are teenagers, he is only a boy and she is a girl. He would 'not share his bike, oh but he let me go sailing'. Probably a euphemism for him not wanting to go all the way? France is the epitome of love, sensuality. So he lets her touch him. When she uses her hand, in return, he comes - snow cherries from France? Maybe way off!!!
