To me, the song has always been about a type of forbidden love; the ocean represents the condemnation of their romance while the town acts as a privacy field, allowing them to block all negativity out. I think it's another song that alludes to her bisexuality and the ocean represents the socially acceptable love existing between man and woman. At times she'd like to ignore her feelings towards this woman, stop having to fight so hard for a love not accepted, because it'd be easier but in the ends decides against it because it's something worth fighting for, something worth saving.
