Ok my take on this song is the following.
I am in the same situation that's why I guess I can feel what the author wants to convey. When you've been in an identical situation you know exactly what the song is about, so here's what I think.
This song is about sacrificing own love for a happier future of the one you love. They say true love is when you can let go of your dear one in his pursuit of happiness. I'm facing the same. I have to let go of the person i dearly love because he wants a better life and brighter future in another country, so I gotta say goodbye to him and set him free. Yes it is very hard, it hurts, we've been together for a long time, but if he wants a better place - let it be, I have to let him follow his heart.
So this song is about setting free the close one. The guy knows he is not what his girlfriend really needs for life, and he has to part with her. He wishes her a better life in California, a better guy although he regrets he cannot be that one.
A small addition: as soon as I heard the music of the song I liked it, the tune, the rhythm, the beat. I felt some great connection with it but didn't listen to the lyrics. But then it started to grow on me more until i decided to check out the lyrics and when I read them I learnt why i was so fond of this song. It is exactly about what I'm experiencing atm. You need to change California for Spain - and that would be absolutely right for my case.
It is now on my playlist and i can't stop listening to it. I love it!
I'm sorry for what you're going through, but I totally agree that this is the meaning of the song. And the peppy, upbeat music is what makes it so sad because I feel like the artist is trying to convey a happy emotion while delivering devastating news to the person he cares so much about. I think that's why it's so sad.

Do not let go of that person. I've travelled the world and back. It does not matter where are you going. Everywhere you go, you are taking yourself. And you can not run away form yourself and from the feelings you have for another person. If he loves you, he will love you in Spain, in Africa , anywhere. I have struggled so much trying to decide what is best for me, but for all I know there if one person with whom I am happier than anywhere. You should be happy. If you are happy together, it does not...

If you are happy together, it does not matter whether it is Spain or America. Btw, I suggest watching a movie "Like crazy", it kind of explains long distance relationships.
