This song is, in my opinion, written from the perpsective of a man who lost his wife to another man. The author and said woman are together during the summer when it was warm and her "Bougainvillea blooms". Then she left him and her children in the autumn, which "blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made." This line comes from the popular phrase "you made your bed, now you have to sleep in it." The "perfect bed she made" was the love the author and woman used to have, but autumn messed it up. The woman has chosen to be with the new man, but the author finds closure in the fact that she still thinks of him while ignoring the outside world. "Only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the window closed, she'll sit and think of me" The last line of the song means that she chose to be with the new man only because she was afraid to be alone.
all very thoughtful and clever, i will explain all my ideas and back them up with lyrics. but unfortunately i believe the song is about a man who was married and had a family and children, and now she has become a part in another mans life. the children are simply enjoying life laying out and watching the clouds roll by, playing in the leaves and stirring the bougainvillea seeds not knowing that their father is over seas. what suggests that she has remarried is, "summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon

And she chose a yard to burn". her honeymoon is to her new husband, and the yard to burn is the home that she has chosen to live. another line that suggests a new marriage is, " And she's chosen where to be Though she's lost her wedding ring Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds." shes not focused on what shes doing. she took her ring off to daydream, as well as the sitting out the window as shes thinking. that whole paragraph tells you that he has left his children with his last name behind, and her to continue on with her new life. it may have been an affair. but i highly doubt it. the children are simply living out the seasons. they are stirring seads in summer, someone else also commented on the whole "you made your bed now you have to sleep in it. that was good. but the children...playing in the leaves, the winter, its too cold for them outside so they stay cozy in bed. the whole song to me is yes about how life passes us by but i also think its about making the right choices. making that decision to stay with that one special person for the rest of your life. cause i think that she feels that she made a mistake. hence why she spends so much time daydreaming about him. i dont know im high as hell but let me know what y'all think
