I saw these guys live the other night.. Kelcey said this was about his ex-gf moving to Sydney and that the song was bascially the story of how things went after she left, subsequently breaking them up.
It is definitely about trying to make a long-distance relationship work. I have been there myself and its not easy at all. I can relate to it so much. Distance does put a toll on you, and you have to keep the visits frequent otherwise the relationship will deteriorate.
What I can see happened here in the start of the song, is that both parties thought they'd be okay by video chatting. I think then Kelcey started to realise this wasn't enough and he needed her physically(happened to me). They then agreed to see other people in their own "towns"(happened to me too). They obviously kept each other honest, because he says when he told her he made new friends, she would get jealous(me, again). They then started to feel differently towards each other.
Anyway.. in the last verse.. I feel like he came to australia to visit her. However it seems like he flew over to tell her personally that they couldn't continue to keep the friendship going because it was too much for him. I don't think he proposed as someone else mentioned. They broke up. Probably for the best. The only way a LD relationship will work is if they visit frequently, and usually one party makes a permanent move to be with the other. Some people aren't cut out for it. I know I wasn't.
