To me this song is like a prayer to God, asking that He help her through hard times... she wants Him to give her the strength to deal with the pain (let me ride this pain like a wave) without the fear or apprehension of what may come.... because when it comes down to it, she doesn't want to be the one who can't let go... either way, she is going to lose someone (thru death or maybe in a relationship or something), and when she does, she prays that she'll be able to deal with it... she prays that she'll be able to let go...
