I always pictured Marina as a woman, living on the street, and the writer taking poetic license weaving a story in his head about her, as he stood at a bus stop. Maybe he met her...maybe they always caught the same bus. The hook also hints at irritation with her...maybe she was off her meds, but still struggling to maintain her dignity, and he felt for her. The hook hit his head, and he built the rest of the song around her.
This song says, stop and remember that no matter what you've done there are people out there that will always love you. When the other things get you down, love will pick you up.

Short version: it's about the human condition
This song says, stop and remember that no matter what you've done there are people out there that will always love you. When the other things get you down, love will pick you up.
