I think this song is about when you know someone who is either gone having a really hard time, and you care about them so much but there is nothing you can do to make everything right.
"And if you move off to the side, I'll get swept back out
Where it's cold but not that deep, cause your legs grow."
To me, this means that if the other person is unreachable, then he will get lost, "swept out to the ocean" where it is cold and uncomfortable. But as humans, we cope to uncomfortable situations, we do what we need to do to keep going, our legs grow, even if we think they can't.
ps ""In my room is, I think, a reference to a side project that Matt Caws did called 'in my room'"
this band is so effing adorable its not even funny
