I wake up every morning, stretch my arms out wide
Splits my chest right open & I put my heart back inside
You used to keep it in a jar, but this metaphor has gone to far
& now it's just a work of art
On my wall & in my mind
When you get the courage, you'll swim beyond the waves
& the stillness of the ocean, will make all fear go away
Yeah, I fucked up good & well & you put me through fucking hell
But good luck finding someone, who can love you better than I
I wanted to be tangled up in someone long & blonde
So honest in my belief that nothing would go wrong
but now all we can say we have, are some photographs & a wiener dog
That chews up everything I love & all the things you left behind
You're the girl, I lost in Sunnyside
You're the girl, I lost in Sunnyside
You're the girl, I lost in Sunnyside
You're the girl, I lost to Sunnyside
Splits my chest right open & I put my heart back inside
You used to keep it in a jar, but this metaphor has gone to far
& now it's just a work of art
On my wall & in my mind
When you get the courage, you'll swim beyond the waves
& the stillness of the ocean, will make all fear go away
Yeah, I fucked up good & well & you put me through fucking hell
But good luck finding someone, who can love you better than I
I wanted to be tangled up in someone long & blonde
So honest in my belief that nothing would go wrong
but now all we can say we have, are some photographs & a wiener dog
That chews up everything I love & all the things you left behind
You're the girl, I lost in Sunnyside
You're the girl, I lost in Sunnyside
You're the girl, I lost in Sunnyside
You're the girl, I lost to Sunnyside

"When you get the courage, you'll swim beyond the waves

This sounds like maybe the reason they broke up was because of the adversity they faced as a lesbian couple. She's telling her ex-girlfriend to "swim beyond the waves," beyond the societal turmoil. To stop being thrown by the waves and worrying about what other people think.
