I've read the theory about this song being about death. I'm not totally disregarding that but I saw it as something else. I see it as this innocent boy that finds himself falling for a girl that has way more life expierience than he does. Excess baggage, if you will. She's been hurt and that's why she's cynical with the "no one here can live together, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer". I didn't take that so literal as to actually meaning being alive but more as that summer, like every season, is temporary. She couldn't commit and although they had their good times...he knew it couldn't never work or last.
Chris is so talented and even his simple lyrics have a huge impact on me.
This was me and my ex-boyfriend's song so it's interesting to read everyone's take on it.
