This song is about a guy waiting for a girl to show up. She once went out on a limb for him ("swam against the tide") and he seems to love her but he has to leave town and is tired of waiting for her. She's probably always late so he's always waiting for her, and he's finally had enough and decides to leave without her.
Or it could be that "My heart was an ocean/You swam against the tide" means his heart was wide open but she still had to struggle to find her place in it. So he didn't actually like her all that much at first even though "his heart skipped a beat" when he first saw her. Something like that.
