No idea what the hell exactly she is singing about. But I think people rush to this site when they first hear a song in hopes that someone else commented on the lyrics and figured it out for them on a logical level. When I listen to this song, and really feel it, that's all there is to it. I'm guilty of coming to this site to read what someone has wrote so I can say ok THAT'S how I feel...What he said! But this song just feeds my soul. Even though she sings, there are no words. Just feel what she has to say and notice the emotions that come up. Don't try to rationalize for once in your life. I just looked through all of my tagged pictures on facebook. Thousands of pictures that spans over 4 years. Listening to this song while tracing back the steps of my life...It all made sense. It made sense where I was, where I'm going, and where I'm at right now. I think that's the sign of a fucking great song. Enjoy and god bless your life. Whoever you are....I love you...

goddam man that was deep. but i agree with you that the song is beautiful and it gives you a 'everything will be alright' feeling, just keep goin.

Nice comment! And yeah, I don't need to know what the lyrics mean sometimes...sometimes I just want to feel, and that's what this song does for me.

@karmaisdharma actually, that is precisely what the lyrics are about. To let go, navigate on the sea. Don´t expect. "Time will tell in spite of me." You can´t do anything but to keep navigating. So, if you really didn´t take the lyrics into account when writing that, it is INDEED a sign that they knew exactly what kind of musical atmosphere to create. They are just awesome :D
