I believe this song is about a couple that can't be together, she runs away from him because there is something wrong with him, he is held back from being in a good relationship with her for whatever reason, could be he does drugs, hes an alcoholic or a criminal (ie he is tackled by police). So she runs from him and into the sea trying to forget him and everything he stands for (i.e. they are no where in her thoughts).
But a piece of him will always be with her and never leave her and she'll never truly be free of him.
(the parcel that he throws across the bridge into the creek, it'll flow towards the sea, it will meet with her tommorow)
She doesnt know why things had to turn out this way, and she dreams of what it could of been like had it been different.
(From far away the animals come gather round to see, but she knows not how they feel, and she knows not what it means,When she was young we'd ask her what she'd like to be, and she'd close her eyes and dream...)
The last verse sums up the whole song completely. Had he not been held back and chosen to live a bad life, it could of been a really good thing, but he chose not to change, so it will never be..
(A place
I've found
could be
all ours
but I've seen
where you
would rather be. )
