In my opinion, this song is simply about floating down a river(life), freely. The first verse describes "letting go" of our oars that had previously been used to steer the boat. It's about being comfortable with where the river is going to take us and appreciating what the "views" everything and anything the river of life gives us.
The second verse, I think, describes the emotional journey associated with "letting go" and leaving the shore and these perceptions of complete control, which in many ways and to many of us, has grown to the point of being our lover.
The final verse, I think, then speaks on this process of growth and how through working on ourselves, then allows us to communicate more efficiently with others, in the hopes of trading ideas and our lessons learned along the way through our journey, since sharing of our experiences and ideas is, in the end, what makes the journey so worthwhile and adds so much to it. Basically, this is Brandon sharing who he is. His story, his philosophy.
