"This song really seems like he's waking up after a hellish nightmare that scares the bejeebers out of him. And then he wakes up and sees the love of his life when he wakes up and his world is just alright again. He's safe with her."
This is the meaning of the song. I get the same thing from reading the lyrics. He's having terrible nightmares about insecurities he has with his relationship and the fear of losing his love. He wakes up and he's safe because she's still there, sleeping right next to him. She is his lifeboat. As long as she's there, everything is going to be alright for him.
