I think this song is about two dying friends.
Each one only has a short time to live and they decide to spend the last days of their lives together - watching the flowers grow, wandering around the city, just basically appreciating everything for what it is:
sit
we'll take our time
watching the flowers grow
all the friends we've known
say goodbye
I think they both have their regrets - letting life pass them by:
and you
did you suffer much
did you close your eyes
just to see the night
rush on by
And I believe the parts containing "hope that we don't let you down again" regard to the family and friends of the two friends which have died. They are at their funerals and regret all of the seemingly awful, but trivial, things they've done to them:
gathered all around you
hope that we don't
let you down again
i said i'm so glad to be here
does it mean a thing

That's just my take on the song.
