There's not much of a story to this. Chris was fooling around with the basic chord progression, and decided it was pretty. He then added the chorus bit, then the fairly off-putting coda bit. Then he decided it needed a pretty lyric.

the midnight is empty
the sky draws a blank
the stars have got nothing to say

tomorrow's just a promise
whispered in the dark
in the last breath of today

CHORUS

we believe in the sun
that the morning will come


as we lay on our backs here
hand in hand on the grass
like the lawn collecting the dew

with the moon up above us
past the overcast clouds
I'll see the night through with you

CHORUS

CODA

the sky will clear, the sun will rise
and tomorrow will come
