Not to be blunt and clichic, but this song is about a relationship obviously. "This sinking ship" Kinda shows that there is something going on in it that is negative. "That will tear us apart" Is talking about some secretive 'information' on this 'ship' that is probably not best to be known by one side of the party. In general, its about some dude/chick who is a relationship with someone that simply isnt real. Their feelings are of almost neglect towards eachother, and i think the narrator is just realizing this. Call me a dreamer but thats what it seems like
