I definitely would not be surprised if this song was about Elliott Smith. Not only does the "we found out we lost you part" clue us in, but also the very last part "in the singing and the strumming, oh man I even saw it coming" really could relate to Elliott. I know that after he died, I was listening to a lot of his songs and thought that I probably could have known that his life would end that way.
