This is my personal favorite off the album. The wistful guitar and piano and emotional lyrics, with elements like female backup vocals a la Mouthful of Cavities, make this a very emotional and satisfying way to end the record.
As far as what it means, it's obviously about when someone, maybe Travis, was younger and about to meet somebody very important for the first time(perhaps an estranged family member?) but it sounds like he got ditched. He still wants to make things right with this person it seems, though beyond that it's kind of vague.
Oh, and one more thing, I'm pretty sure the song is referencing the Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Texas, which is a popular live music venue.
