I think this song is about a person falling for someone no matter how hard they try to fight it, as indicated by the opening lines:
"I didn't ask for this
You give me heart attack
I didn't want to care
And then I saw you there"
Then, the rest of the song seems to go on talking about how the person has a predictable day to day life, being an adult working all the time and what not..
and I think the beauty of this song is how the person initially thought that by falling for someone, it would just be another demand added to his/her life, but really that someone ended up being his/her escape from the monotony of every day life.
It doesn't necessarily mean that the person was in love at first sight or that the someone they fell for is his/her soul mate...I think the song is meant to capture the memories of those people that come into our lives and give our lives more meaning/substance, even if it is only for a little while...a type of reassurance.
I think the "I've got a little bit longer, I've got a ways to go" can be broken down as follows: the former phrase represents what we say to people during small talk when discussing our current state of affairs, whereas the latter represents how we may open up to someone we meet and end up growing closer to and telling the truth to about how our lives are really going.
