Not sure. It's pretty, though, and frankly kinda sad.

The tune contains no plain major chords, by design, as a way to keep it from settling in too well anywhere. The working title of the tune was Incompleted Things, because it sounded that way. Then Chris wrote a lyric while staring at the sky in the back yard.

I was caught in a tangle
of twilight and daydreams
spending myself
on just getting by
doesn't the wind
sound lonely tonight?

The more that I looked back
the more that I stumbled
and mumbled myself
and forgot to look up
doesn't the wind
sound sadly tonight?

CHORUS

maybe the garden will grow us
a flower

VERSE

The more that I looked back
the more that I stumbled
and mumbled myself
and forgot to look up
doesn't the wind
sound sadly tonight?


But nobody's watching
and nobody cares
and nobody matters
and nobody's here
wouldn't the wind
hold you closely tonight?

CHORUS

maybe the garden will grow us
a flower
maybe the sunrise will give us
a day
