Initially I thought this song was about a lost love, but after many more listens I think this is a song of symbolic rebirth, or a renewed love of life.
That among all of life's hardship (storm, thorns) the singer has found a new beginning (morning) and reflects on what it would have been like if they had the revelation sooner (would you show me the way it could have been?)
(Can we start it all over again) is a rhetorical question for a higher power, as to ask "is it possible to symbolically be a clean slate, because I know that this physical life cannot be rewound."
The last verse before the chorus symbolizes the intangibility of resilience, returning to being at peace with life after a treacherous hardship.
