This song is so beautiful and haunting.
I agree that it might be less about a relationship and more about life and the human experience in general.
For example:
"The harbor becomes the sea."
A place that's always been safe turns into something much bigger and more open.
The water and the mountain are metaphors for her learning the harshness of life. ("...It's dangerous size...it's steep and rocky sides...more than realized.")
