This song is about the hurricane that happened in 2003. Matt was obviously on tour during this time in montreal, and he makes continued reference in his music to a girl who's at home, upset he's never there. Matt makes frequent references to drugs, which could be the 'sugar' in this song. But the boats on the rocks and trees falling before the leaves is 100% about the hurricane. He's homesick, and wished his love life wasn't so rocky.
