Also consider the musical climax of the song, where Ed laments that we made it to the moon but we can't make it home in a raging crescendo (I haven't heard the acoustic but I don't know how well this would work in that version) that suddenly drops away to a peaceful revelation that we already are home if only we surrender to love, i.e. wherever we are (in the broad sense) we can be at peace, if only we can understand how to get through "the distance to here" (the title of the album).

That particular bit is emphasised even more in the acoustic version and it is amazing.
