It's about a same-sex relationship. The troubles that lying about who you are as a couple create. It seems to be that their is hope that one day "the sea will split" as in the world will change, society's views on homosexual relationships. Her saying "give me time" is like her saying I'm not ready to quote on quote come out. The singer Casey is homosexual, like others in the band. So from experience I can say this song feels like a sucky situation, wanting to be a full on loving relationship, but both knowing the time isn't right.
