I think it is clear, that this song is about a lost person Lana had a very close connection to. But I still want to give my opinion here :)
So, a close person died a while ago and everyone around her is wanting her to go on and finally suceed in living without the dead friend/lover/whatever. This is something which happens in a lot of cases like that. But Lana (and a lot of people who lost somebody) don´t want or just aren´t able to live like the dead person hasn´t been there, like they´re forgotten. I think the part "I´m lying in the ocean singing your song" maybe means she is diving in memories trying to get back to the time she spent with the lost one. She is just not able to forget him/her, she dreams about him/her. The part : "Your soul is hunting me and telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead" probably means, she knows that the person would want her to live on but she starts getting depressive and wanting to die too.But as she wants to die, maybe to be with the lost person, she is scared that there is no heaven (I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side).She starts to kinda live in her dreams, cause she is kinda meeting the person there and she doesn´t wants to leave. She is giving up her real life, getting deeper and deeper into depression, suicidal feelings, she is seeing the person everytime she closes her eyes...

Probably the dead person is the mysterious K ;)
Also i am rlly sorry for speaking a bad english, my motherlanguage is german :)
