Just to clear things up, it's about someone reflecting on his first real relationship.
The first verse is about him remembering them going out and having fun throughout the summer.
The chorus says how special she made him feel.
Second verse is about drinking alcohol (the lyrics: "When drinkin' was new" proves that they must be young, as most people drink for the first time in there teens). The "we never went far" part is supposed to be taken two ways:
they didn't drive far,
they didn't have sex, or do many things together (as your first relationships tend to be quite boring).
After the second chorus, he gets dumped, and doesn't know what to do (whether to be friends with her, try again in a relationship, ignore her or move on), basically, he's confused.
The third verse is him remembering her, and wondering what went wrong, wondering where she is in life now, and wondering if they could of worked things out again, instead of ignoring each others feelings.
He's still confused and doesn't know what to do about her, but he moved on to better things, and improved.
Overall, the whole song is someone reminiscing good times he had with his first love, presumably called "Dakota", what a song as well :) just went through the exact same thing (summer relationship, i'm 16), hope i cleared things up for everyone :P
You have done a great job interpreting this song. The one thing I get from the song that I didn't see in your interpretation is that he is relaying the story years later, maybe after ending another relationship. He is looking back to a simpler time and what he feels (though the cloud of his current pain) was a more true and pure love.

A guy I love so much gave me this song to me, we were summer vacation love but few years later every now and then he will send me love songs, which breaks my heart despite we were summer vacation love I think we could have worked things out since we were so perfect and crazy about each orher. It's been 6 years and I am married to somebody else yet I still looking for closure from him since he never gives me any type of clousure. It seems like he is playing with my feelings, I told him...

It seems like he is playing with my feelings, I told him many times how much I love him and I don't mind long distance relationship but he never take actions, only sending me songs Dakota and blink 182 i miss you, he even made song for me.
Please help me find closure

Great perspective (and a correct one) on the song, nice to see young people that are still emotional.
