Obviously this song is telling that he has a relationship with this girl whom he can't be with at all time because he had to go touring to countries (possibly). The relationship, however, hardly working out. Yet he's too in love to leave her.
"I'm leaving your town again
And I'm over the ground that you've been spinning"
The city always reminds him of the girl.
"If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found "
Everytime he leaves the town where his lover lives, he wish he could make the plane to land because he really needs to see her, but then he'll remember when he first met this girl and all other memories they had.
"Damn, I should be so lucky
Even only 24 hours under your touch
You know I need you so much "
He needs to spend time with her but all he got was only a day or two so he feel like he should feel lucky for it.
"I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of the airport"
He has a job (probably touring as a musician) that requires him go to places all over the world. So every time he leaves her city, he cannot wait until the plane lands so he could call the girl right away and tell her how the plane trip (and/or the whole trip) was.
"And walk you through the maze of the map
That I'm gazing at"
He really wants his lover to also see all the beautiful places he has been.
"You make me somebody
Ain't nobody knows me
Not even me can see it"
At the first verse he also says "And I'm nobody". This means the girl has a great influence on him. He feels extraordinary when she's around.
"Cause I'm keeping upward bound now
Oh maybe I'll build my house on your cloud"
He tries to make time for her (minimize the overseas trip) and wish she could go with him through the trip.
"You keep me high
You get me high minded"
She makes him believe that they're gonna be alright, although it's killing him.
