The song seems easy enough to interpret. I reckon he's going with the theme of the album. It's much more uplifting. It's about letting go of the past, everything in the world. All his hopes and fears which might have been to much to live with:
"And if I hadn't come down to the coast to disappear
I may have died in a land-slide of the rocks, the hopes and fears."
It's optimistic, he's going to fight and move on with everything he knows. Move into the unknown(the future) and not let it overwhelm.
It seems he's also moving on from a relationship as he refers to "she".
I could go into each line but I think it all makes sense if you look at it from the positive spin.
The beauty about Frightened Rabbit is you can take their lyrics in what ever way you like. Some quality song writing. There amazing live as well.
