He's now realizing that she must have had a similar experience with understanding love even though he didn't understand it at the time (thought it was strange). Here he's recalling the time when she left him, but then came back.
And he's saying that he can't be without her and wants to be back with her. Now he's just telling the girl about how he's changed even though it took him awhile. That these things take forever, I especially am slow the next part he's just saying how his blindness for love allowed him to get put off course and get lost and not know where's he's at or where he was. "blind before i met you" before he met the girl he never understood love and was essentially blind to it. The first person who made him see what love really is. Here he's just saying the girls face is the first one that he really saw with this new understanding of love. I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been They're spreading blankets on the beach" It's the first day of his life because this is the moment he finally grows up and realizes what loving someone really is.
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed. While away it suddenly dawns upon him that he really loves the girl and that he's not gonna let some minor flaws get in the way and thats where the song starts. So he leaves her like he's done in the past with other relationships. However he found a few things wrong with her that he didn't like. It sounds like the guy was in this relationship with a girl who he really loves. Ok, so im gonna explain it from the point of a guy who loves a girl is telling it.
