Quite apart from having probably the most sumptuous music of any TFUL282 song, it has pretty interesting lyrics too, though the precise meaning escapes me at the moment. All I can think of is being with a person who always surprises you, or maybe your feelings are always out of sync with theirs. I think the narrator sees their presence as calming and safe, though using drowning as a metaphor adds a sinister edge to it - like he knows it's bad for him.
