The songwriter had an intimate romance with someone who came to his city for the summer. Now she's gone away, and he's left to reflect. It is inferred that he can't relocate for her, but he hopes she can hold on to see him again next summer. ("We can have it all again / Say that you'll be with me when the sun brings your heart to mine").
They remain in contact. She wants to stay a couple ("And now you're looking back at me / Searching for a way that we can be like we were before"), but she is also conflicted about maintaining their long-distance relationship (because he tells her "please don't run away from what we have together").
Nice contrast of sight imagery of endless nights with the summer daytime "glistening"
