I think it's about an inexperienced bloke who over romanticises things and had 'no regard for the cost of saying his feelings' because he just says what he feels rather than holding back. This puts the girl off and makes the relationship lose its flair fast. Because of this, the 'promises' they made each other in the summer were lost because the flair was gone. The girl on the other hand, is used to this kinda thing and was just calm about it, she made the promises and didn't say how she felt because she knew how it goes (she's 'locked up inside of' her loops) and the same happens to her every summer. The promises were simply a 'fairytale climbing up' too steep - it was never going to happen no matter how much he wanted it to. If he was as experienced as the girl, he would've known 'all he had to say was goodbye' because there was no chance they were going to see each other again. Although it was the 'same old' for her, she really hurt him, he felt the 'heartbreak'. Another song about long distance relationships in my opinion...
