Okay, I take this to what seems like the obvious conclusion to me but no one else has said it yet.
Doesn't it sound like they were two young lovers just roamin' around together, makin music and makin love?
Then the girl/guy (depending on who's singing it) wanted more, "He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it" but the singer of the song couldn't commit like their lover wanted them to.
"I let him slip away" would then mean that the singer had the chance to be with him/her but decided against it and the song's basically regretting that decision and wishing they could go back,
"I’d trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby’s body next to mine."
