When I Was Older Lyrics

When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
Hmm
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this...

    So what I think is that she lost a friend, or someone in a relationship with her and the sea represents their love, with she "drowned" in. She can't escape it
