She's reminiscing about a love that she had during the time and it brings her "summertime sadness."
This person is someone who made her feel electric, alive, and in love. She feels so invincible with this person that she could die and still be happy. Thinking about how much she loved this person and how this person may have been the best person she's ever been with, it brings her sadness. "Even if you're gone, I'm going to drive." Yes, this person isn't a part of her life anymore, but she relives her relationship with him by driving down memory lane.
Does anyone else hear "I think I'll miss you forever like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies"? That makes more sense to me than "I think I'll love you forever."
"I think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky.
Late is better than never.
Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive."
This is my favorite part of the song. It's as if she finally realized how much she's going to miss this person and has finally told them her true feelings. Even though he's gone, she's going to remember and honor how wonderful this time period of her life was. Beautiful...
@lahhva That is exactly what I hear without watching the video. I think the song is sexy and passionate, and directed to a lover that lights this woman up but for some reason must leave her.

@lahhva
gotta chime in from Gen X. Song has the flavor of Bob Seger's 'night moves'. looking back at a time when the relation was not taken as seriously, only to realize later what is was.
