This song focuses on what matters in the end, past all the obstacles and hardships life throws at you - following your heart and not letting yourself get washed away without a firm hold on your own approach to life. Even if things get hard, even if you feel like you just can't or don't want to keep getting up again, you should because you know you'll get through it one way or another ("But when I lose sight of daylight/ and my darkness falls/ I'll be strong" ... "I know enough to know it's never gonna be much more than weather/ you can't drive me away/ when it's only rain").
"The coastline going both ways" to me is the whole emotional spectrum, from being confident and sure of yourself, to being down and out, wondering if you're doing the right thing and if it matters at all.
"And fearless I'm not/ But I am what I am" and other lines recognize flaws that you can have but can also stand up to and push through, living your life despite them. I also really like the line "It may be all that I'm giving/ But take my love for what it is" because it asserts an individual contribution to the world - it's not perfect, or everything, but it's in good faith and better than nothing.
I love the simultaneous vulnerability and courage that Sara weaves into the lyrics - layering conviction over insecurity and doubt, celebrating the silver lining but including the dark clouds that give the glow its shape. Great song to relate to!
