I think the song is referencing someone killing themself. "Follow your heart to the water, fill your pockets with stone" the person obviously weighing down their body with the stone. The writer is saying go do what you have to do but adds "Throw your arms around me, never let me go" saying take me with you, I want to be with you forever.
I think "Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world" backs that up. Surrender the weight of this world, take your life, take me with you.
It creates a very emotive picture of 2 lovers embracing as they plunge into depths where they will die together and be together forever "never let me go".

That's how I see it anyway.
