I thought it was just about two people in love, but after hearing it a few times, I suddenly realized the "small wonders" are their kids. How many times do parents think their kids are going to drive them insane, only to look at their children and realize that bond of love is so miraculous it overcomes everything? And any parent knows their kids "keep us awake at night," but they also "hold us down to the ground" [keep us grounded] and "show us who we are." Good job of hiding a double meaning in the lyrics, plus an enjoyable song.
