the opening verse is strikingly reminiscient to "the difference in the shades" by bright eyes, at least to me. i hesitate to say that it could be partly inspired conor, but possibly? i know that during that early time in bright eyes' career, he was really close to Neely from TATW, so it would make sense that her nostalgia for a more innocent time, which seems apparent in this song, could be interwined with memories of conor.
"Now that I'm grown
I can't seem to find it
There is no tall tall grass
For me to hide in"
i could be WAY off. whatever the case, it really gets me when the piano comes in on the lines "i've been scared to say ... i've lined them up to fall."
