So what’s this most beautiful song about?

The gorgeous instrumentation and melody suggest someone dreamily in love, but like many Sundays songs, I think it’s somewhat ambiguous.

A few hours away from blissful reunion? Absent lover? Dream lover? Crush? The key seems to be this:

When you're searching your soul When you're searching for pleasure How often, pain is all you find But when you're coasting along and nobody's trying too hard You can turn around and like where you are

So she seems happy with her lot, but it’s not as though she’s rushing to with this person. But:

And I close my eyes (dear) Now I'll never never wake Why should I stop thinking about you

If she’ll never wake, is “thinking about you” all she has to look forward to? Is it her love or a bottle of red that awaits her at home?
