I love this song too. But for me it is not sad at all (neat how people can have opposite interpretations of the same song). I see it as a connection between two people. Water, as some people might tell you, has been called a symbol for "emotion". An ocean is a lot of water...a lot of emotion. There is an "Ocean between" them...."between them" for me is akin to saying something like "we have something in common" (i.e. some people in conversation say, "That's just between us", like a intimate secret). So for me, I see a connection, an intimate one at that. And the speaker is saying, "You know where to find me...I'm in that intimate place between us...I am connected to you, because I feel you in my own heart. It is a strength, a partnership, and link that you can always come to. The rest of the song seems like a part of the journey and some of the events of their journey.
