First of all, this a genius song and has helped me really mortalize a sort of tragic aspect of something rather immortal- the memory of growing up in a failing family. I know few have or are going to care about this song, but it's cinematic...
Anyway, verse 1 is the mom's perspective, verse 2 the father's, and the chorus is the child's. What's kind of genius, if you'll notice, is the way they flow and resolve-lyrically, psychologically, musically... all come in at the chorus with instruments with a calm, monotonous voice, which takes you to the end...
That calm, that wisdom.. came from the child having experienced a family where the parents really dwelled on their failures.. It's really underrated and beautiful in that sense and if you've been in a family where the lyrics match, even vaguely, with the description of the mother and father, then you know that chorus is medicinal...
To the person who posted the correct lyrics, I respect you, but your interpretation is not right... there was no miscarriage.. the child grew up and moms sort of immortalize their young child... also an entendre for the children they both once were, having lost way of their dreams
