This song is utterly beautiful - from the simple intro with the fingerpicking pattern & overlaid piano to the chorus with those haunting violin notes. Very fitting musically & lyrically.
I think the voice in the song is looking for God, or a divine Creator. The lyrics hint of the natural beauty in this world - the tallest of trees, reddened leaves, etc - as if acknowledging the idea that there is a master creator to this world, but he can not find a supporting piece of evidence that proves the existence of such. He wants to believe, but just can't without tangible proof.
The first comment on this song ("I know this feeling all too well") is also amazingly fitting. Seems like it could be sung in a chorus to another song of theirs, no?
