I love that the line "This ocean will not be grasped" also sounds like, "This ocean will not be grass." Both ways, you know that the "ocean" is something intangible, something that cannot be held or traversed, perhaps because it is so huge, perhaps because of the form it takes, the molecules that form it--maybe a little bit of all that.
for me this is a song about forbidden love. beth is stepping up to the plate (or wants to) and her love interest is still plagued by reservations. she asks of him, "did you really want?" i.e. do you really want this (me)?
