This song is about consistency. The way we live our lives when no one's watching. How we should strive to live our life to the same fullness all the year round just like the trees whose leaves never die.
Switchfoot sing a lot about entropy: the law of this world which states that everything falls to a lower state of matter; the second law of thermodynamics. "Everything dies", leaves fall, flowers wither, but our lives should shine through to others all year round and not grow faint.
It also has the idea of coming home from a holiday or returning to normal life from a spiritual high. "Holiday end, I'm here once again and I'm left alone on the bus with my head on the ground"

Great song.
I want to be evergreen.
