To me this song is about having her heart broken, being lost and then finding someone new and falling in love again, but as SarahReeve said - not being ready for it - or maybe just falling in love with the wrong guy.
She says 'I was lost and now i'm found', she was lost when she broke up with her ex and was found by her new lover, but then goes on to say 'but i was alive and now i'm drowned' implying that maybe he wasn't what she had expected and is maybe too much.
He must of had hold of her because she says 'i couldn't say, i wouldn't say no'.
When referring to 'they' shes referring to the rest of the world, waiting for them to judge her and tell her she was wrong or a fool - but 'they' don't understand what it was like and part of her wants them to.
I find it a very moving, emotional and intimate song. It stirs up emotions of the times you went with someone, not being able to say no even if you wanted to and about the power people can have over you.
