This song is about escaping yourself and the hassles of being alone. Its about finding comfort in something and feeling like no one understands you and the only place you belong is in the water. My favorite line is

I can hardly see you now Are you getting closer and Do you know you're the one?

This suggest unrequited love as well.

I'm very surprised that I am the only one to comment, this SK song is my favorite of theirs.
