I know this song's been written for The Hunger Games, but I can't help but connect it to Mockingjay. I see this song from Finnick Odair's POV, like he's talking about his lover, Annie Cresta.

"Meet me down by the whale watch .........by the sea .........we'll go out on the sea"

See? everything is related to District 4's occupation - fishing, the sea, whales...

"My lover is childlike" - well basically, the Games have left Annie all messed up and traumatized (since she's also a victor). So naturally, she's kinda scared and naive....she needs someone to help her out, she needs proper care and love to somehow bring her out of the post-Games trauma. Just like a child who has experienced something scary and can't forget about it for a long time.

That's all I got....hope this helps atleast a little bit...
