Do you remember
What things looked like when you were young?
The voice of an old friend
Or the notes to your first song
It's been a while now
Since you asked me to be
Your cat, your dog
Your owl or bumblebee
Lately I've been feeling
Like the day?s gonna come
You'll walk up to me
And erase my memory
Can't wait to feel brand new
I can't wait to meet you again, friend
I think I must have known you
In another life
I think our rocking chairs
Used to rock together all night
With pictures of owls
All over the walls
Tiny ships in bottles
They won't sail too far out

I agree that its def about first love but also more than that. I think its about the intense shut everything else out kind of love. The kind that feels like its simply meant to be, the kind that never fades and when you expiernce the entire universe makes sense.
Anyways thats my take on it.
About love that is innocent and pure, clean and beautiful, without all the messiness of certain mature "adults things" that are in relationships when they get older.
Then the couple possible gets married, and it's been a while.
"Since you asked me to be
Your cat, your dog, your owl, or bumblebee"
Cat, dog, owl, bumble bee, kind of like to hubby?
"You'll walk up to me and erase my memory
Can't wait to feel brand new
I cant wait to meet you again,
friend"
Meaning that every time they walk up to him, he falls in love again, forgets all he was thinking of, and sees her the same way he did when they were first in love.
"I think I must have known you
in another life
I think our rocking chairs used to rock together
All night"
Him saying that they are true lovers, meant to be.
I think that you have your soul mate, and if you don't find them in your first life, you're bound to meet in the next, and this line kind of is like that. How They probably found each other in a past life and managed to find each other again, because they're meant to be.
"Tiny ships in bottles, they won't sail too far"
like what setsunamudou732 said,
They won't sail too far away from eachother, because they're meant to be, it's their destiny, and they cannot escape that.
this is what it means to me-

(i made the video)
but i dont think anybody but seabear themselves know for sure.
but it's not worth changing 2 words, you know.
if you're a real fan, you can figure it out for yourself.
I hope you don't mind me correcting something. the line:
"Lately I've been feeling like the day has come"
I think that last bit there is "the day is gonna come." also, I think he sings the word "out" at the end of:
"Tiny ships in bottles, they won't sail too far"
