Save The Last Dance

I think I really, REALLY like Dillon, but I’m not ready for something serious. I’ll think I’ll date around but save the last dance for Dillon; if you know what I mean.

Mary Jane's Last Dance
Godsend of a song by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers that super-personifies "the last toke".

excerpt & interpretation from mary jane's last dance:

SHE MOVED DOWN HERE,
AT THE AGE OF 18,
SHE BLEW THEM BOYS AWAY,
WAS MORE THAN THEY'D SEEN.

the indiana boys' first toke

I WAS INTRODUCED AND WE BOTH STARTED GROOVIN'.

Tom's (?) first toke

SHE SAID I DIG YA BABY BUT I GOT TO BE MOVIN,
ON.
KEEP MOVIN' ON.

he liked it because it treated him well
eventually, though, he has to give it up:

LAST DANCE WITH MARY JANE,
ONE MORE TIME TO KILL THE PA-AIN.

come on

I FEEL SUMMER CREEPIN' IN,
AND I'M,
TIRED OF THIS TOWN AGA-AIN.

kind of confusing personification. here's my guess:
"summer"=best time of the year; most comfortable weather
therefore "summer" is the euphoric high, slowing "creeping" into his system
"town"=could be a lot of things:
1) the boring indiana town, whose boredom he escapes through smoking, however, more likely:
2) the "down" state; not being high (could be an anagram?)

that should get you guys started. this is taking forever and i have class. figure the rest out on your own.
