I completely disagree with the people saying it's happy. I think it is actually really sad.

I think she loves someone that's been in front of her all along and she wasn't going to do anything about it but she was "found out." Now that they know, she has to give up dreams to "explore" because she is "frozen by desire." She has stayed with the person she loves and now she can't do the things she wants to do because she'll lose them if she does. She recognises that the person is who she needs and that they're too good to give up and she doesn't "ever have to leave" but she still longs to "explore".
