I get a feeling this song is about coming to terms with the realisation that the dreams and ambitions we have in our youth have not all been achieved and life did turn out quite the the way we had planned. But that's ok because despite that we can find happiness and contentment in what we have while still imagining what we could have had but not chasing it because doing so would jeopardise what we have. Great use of metaphors in this song. We are big ships in our own minds, yet to the observer we are merely a dot on the horizon.
