To me, this song is about a young love. ("We were only kids and we were best of friends." / "As I drive, drive these roads that made our memories.")
Young love is usually blissfully unaware of the things around them, focusing on their own happiness. ("We hoped for the best and let go of the rest.")
The singer returns home from some time away for whatever reason and is disappointed to find that things are nothing like he left them. ("I'm back, back in town, and everything has changed.")
He seems to regret leaving and is nostalgic for the good times he had. ("I see, see shadows of who we used to be" / "And how tall did we stand, with the world in our hands?")
Basically, the singer is reminiscing about his youth and the simplicity of those times, whether they were spent with a girl or not.

Exactly what I was thinking, couldn't think of how to say it but you did just fine. I'm a bit of a sappy person :P
