I love this song, since it can easily be interpreted in so many ways, yet still carry so much meaning.
I like to think that this song is about two people who have discovered a new found love between them. One of these lovers is opening up to the other, who has had a very troubled past when it comes to any sort of relationship. The one person tells them that the "Spoils and troubles and burdens you've bore/Pay them no mind, they matter no more/Leave them behind and show me/All about the ocean." The "ocean" in this sense is the immense amount of love this person has to offer to the new relationship, even though he/she has had nothing but bad experiences. The rest of the lyrics fit in accordingly.
That's just my take on it. When I think about the song like this, it immediately provides me with as much comfort as any song has ever given.
