It's always interesting to me how frequently people interpret songs to be based on love, but that's the beauty of art -- that it's up for interpretation :)
Anyways, this song to me is about death/the afterlife. I wish I knew about Victoria or Alex's views on religion/spirituality so I could have a better sense of this song but that's ok.
"Though you hardly know her
The lights on its way
The hand that rests upon it"
--I think the reference of 'her' is a continuation from 'On the Sea' (the line I think is: Anyway in a name she takes shape all the same. A song that I also think refers to life/our souls)
"No way of recognizing
The cat knows the call"
-- You probably won't know when your life actually ends (you won't feel it). I think the line about the cat might be about how some people think that cats can sense when someone is about to die.
"It's a strange paradise.
You'll be waiting"
-- The image that most people have of heaven probably isn't true/or you might be chasing heaven or some perfect afterlife the whole duration of your life but it just won't come to you.
