Our boy is reflecting on what he had with the girl in the albums story, and he realizes that she has taken quite a fall, like he has. The song is not just discussing the loneliness of a lost love, but also the existential realities of which the boy tried to convince the girl.
"For there are just so many of, you out there for rent."
Before the girl was able to get over these things easily, but this has stricken a deeper chord, and like the album, it leaves a much more lasting effect if you have actually understoof what is being discussed.
The boy tries to take some of the guilt off himself, claiming to have only been a passenger and that she is the one truly in command. In reality he learned something heart wrenching from this affair as well, and he can no longer show her back to where they were, because neither of them has the power to go back.
He does hope however, that she is able to float on, "sail her don't sink her, this time." Perhaps referring to future relationships or just hoping that she doesn't give up on life. ---One may find this excessive, but not if you take the meaning out of the entire album. The songs really can't be split up.
But our 'protagonist' is awakening, "Just a mokent or two from now, not a mind will retain even a trace, of the thoughts that i struggled to tell." The next song, 'a comet appears,' is the storyteller waking up and reflecting on what he has learned.
so true about taking the album as a whole its a complete work (of amazing art!), not a series of singles And I agree the primary theme is one of awakening
