On one of his DVD's Josh says that he wrote bits and pieces of this song all over the world on the Memories & Dust tour.
He mentions how he was on tour and away from home for so long that he was pretty much longing for solitude and getting away from everything. He also says that the song is sort of like a travel log for him, and by the time he was writing it, he was definitely over the whole touring thing, and, I quote, "just wanted to kind of bunker down somewhere in a different space of my own."
