It's sort of already been said but this is what the song means to me (way lengthy). I think that this could be a happy but also a potentially sad song (depending on the direction that destiny takes).

This is what she sees and this is what she hopes/wants desperately wants to believe. It's all about her who is madly in love with her guy - she's never been able to figure out how he really feels for her, often convincing herself that it was nothing more to him then sex.

She can't stop thinking (lies awake) and she finally sees a clearer picture (comes to ground). She's always been confused between what it is (watching porn-sex) and what she wants it to be (dressing gown-romance). So she still dreams about him and what it could be. But as real as her dreams seem, she believes that she's the only one with the dream (there's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite).

Her realization of unrequited love is slow and painful (the journeys long and I feel so bad). She misses him like crazy and thinks about him frequently, and she's confused because the last day they had seemed so perfect to her. She's going through change and doing what she has to do as quickly as she can (bending time) to get back to him. She's not sure if she's dreaming about the reality of them or not, but she strongly wants to believe that they were more, that are each others destiny.

But he is a part of her, so much so that he lives in her heart. Things have changed and things continue to change but she can still feel him everywhere she goes and in everything she does. She finds comfort in having him in her heart. And she believes that she's with him in the same way too (nearly with you).

They are a permanently a part of each other, forever bonded and together in heart even though they're miles apart (on different wavelengths of what the relationship was)... but on a clear day, she will find him and she will be new and what he wants so that they will be together because she so wants to believe that they ARE each other's destiny.
