OR...

This is what she sees in them and this is what she hopes and 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 to him - until there is enough space between them, and then she finally sees a clearer picture (comes to ground). As many times as they've been on and off, they can never seem to figure each other out. She perceives him with mixed feelings.

She will never be able to figure him out until she figures herself out first. She misses him like crazy and thinks about him frequently, in more ways than one but she's 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 believes that are each others destiny. I think that the hotel room is her way of saying that she's locking herself away until her long journey (finding herself) is over, and she feels so bad because she's so lonely without him (best friend), but there's only room for one right now (herself).

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. When she's feeling lonely (weak) she draws strength from her heart where he lives and through that sends him the love he needs to keep going. He is constantly with her in 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... so that on a clear day, when the long journey is over and the time is right she will find him (fly home) and they will be together because they ARE each other's destiny.

It's a hopeful song, but it could also be sad because she might be filling herself with hope/convincing herself that this is their destiny - because this is what she wants so bad, it's almost the only thing that matters. But as many of us know, things don't always work out the way we want them too and maybe once her journey is over, she might find that this is not even what she wants anymore.
