Climb out
Out to where you see
The curl of the world,
We're alone
Just like you said
Cold cold world,
Life lasts
Only one thing left to roll
Last year to learn,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
We will never be the change
To the weather and the sea and you knew that,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
Oh I loved you with the good
And the careless of me
But it all goes back,
Oh climb out
Out enough to see
The curl of the world,
Oh we're alone
Just like you said
Last year to learn,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
We will never be the change
To the weather and the sea and you knew that,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
Oh I loved you with the good
And the careless of me
But it all goes back,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
We will never be the change
To the weather and the sea and you knew that,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
Oh I loved you with the good
And the careless of me
But it all goes back,
Out to where you see
The curl of the world,
We're alone
Just like you said
Cold cold world,
Life lasts
Only one thing left to roll
Last year to learn,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
We will never be the change
To the weather and the sea and you knew that,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
Oh I loved you with the good
And the careless of me
But it all goes back,
Oh climb out
Out enough to see
The curl of the world,
Oh we're alone
Just like you said
Last year to learn,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
We will never be the change
To the weather and the sea and you knew that,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
Oh I loved you with the good
And the careless of me
But it all goes back,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
We will never be the change
To the weather and the sea and you knew that,
You were the boat that bridged
In the tale of Conrad
Oh I loved you with the good
And the careless of me
But it all goes back,

I also believe that "The Tale" by Joseph Conrad is referenced here.
There is a war at sea and the main character, the commander, comes upon a ship that is undeterminably friend or foe. The Commander feels that the captain of that ship is lying to him about his intentions. Not knowing where the heart of the captain of that ship truly lies, the Commander sends him to his death in the form of false directions that lead to impassable waters. The Commander struggles with the thought that he condemned innocent men to their deaths.
Ben Howard writes about specific people in his life, It is possible that he is talking about somebody he was conflicted with, he regrets sending them away because he wasn't sure who they really were at the point where he sent them out of his life. Seems to focus on unsurety and possibly regret.
