Everytime I hear the short instrumental opening to this song, for a split second I think I'm listening to The Beatles' Across the Universe...does anyone else experience that?
Anyway, this is such a great song! I'm assuming that it's about life as a baby and also as an elderly person.
With the lines "I am young but not for long. I dont know how long I'm gone. Pick me up, take me back, put me down", which then repeats again with "old" in place of "young" and the second verse changing to "you told me just sail it home", he is certainly making comparisons to the lack of freedom or ability we have at those ages. Inevidably, life will repeat itself.
