I interpret this song as someone realizing they've been waiting and waiting for something to happen and finally deciding that this isn't what they are supposed to be doing and deciding to move on.

I think it applies more to your life purpose in general but it is interesting to think about in terms of a relationship:

"how many years have we waited for a ship that never set sail? and how many days have we wasted chasing a love that was not our own?"
