I agree that this is about nostalgia and coming to terms with mortality. I also think that it has a hopeful ring to it, like this person has been rinsed clean by this realization of death. He's throwing away his misery and dispair, realizing that it never contributed to his life so he lets it go. I love the memories of family gathers and thoughts. "When tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be?" and "Beauty is just another word that I'm never certain how to spell" are some of my favorite lyrics. I love the Weakerthans! I can imagine falling asleep in my brand new winter coat so well...
