It's "Rooms all get rearranged" not "rules". This song is enchanting, but I wouldn't call it mundane.
He's observing the cycle of life, with all the expected and unexpected intertwined. It's almost "strange" to think about...
He's surrounded by only strangers, and finds it ironic that we're all connected "You are me/And I am you", yet we go on about our separate lives, each so important to us as we bounce along, separate but together in this world. We create places for ourselves, snap photographs, fall in love, and eventually all these things fade, & others come in to rearrange.
There is no script, you can't really say what tomorrow will bring, and the circle of life continues-symbolized by the tree growing at the cemetery.
...I could say a whole lot more but I tried to keep it brief. :)
shlaybe - absolutely, and I didn't even make that connection before you wrote that! It's pretty clear to me now, the fact that the bus breaks down at the graveyard could mean that there the twenty seven strangers separate - meaning they die? I think that really makes sense, the beginning of the song, they're all waiting for the bus and the bus-ride is their lives and they get off at the graveyard at the end.

Such a lovely song, so simple, and yet so full of meaning!
