To me, this song is about a girl who meets a guy who is a couple of years older than her. They spend a lot of time together that summer. She experiences a whole new world with him. They fall in love. She is reminiscing about her relationship with him. Now she's looking back at it all. She was so terrified for the day he had to leave for college because she felt that they would lose touch and eventually that's what happend. When she goes back to her grandpa's farm, she remembers him and the memories are bittersweet because he and her first love are no longer in contact and he is just a part of her past. The "innocence" is most likely her virginity. She wonders if it's that or the actual guy that she misses. This song is beautiful and speaks personally to me.
