The branch line is what got me so just bare with me
He's itching on a photograph, he's disturbed by his past
He's scratching on a thermostat, he's trying to change the mood of his house/family
Giving up on looking back and letting go of what he has. Let us assume he's a young adult about 18 in a nice family of 5, it's time for him to branch out and start his own family, in order to do this he obviously must give up what he has already, his house, comfort etc,
Feel the rain come down and you know now. As I was saying this song is representation of a family tree. Rain makes crops grow, so he e knowns now it's time for him to grow. "put the fire out you'll burn now" it means he shouldn't destroy his family tree, fire is the opposite of water, it destroyes instead of grows. From the way it's phrased it sounds like it's his mum telling him. Fire burns things to ashes, so he should stop burning his wood lol. Meaning he won't be young forever and needs to start a family soon and keep the tree growing. Also the older you get the less kids you can have. Also he could be a raging blaze but the mum is telling him to simmer down before he burns up all his energy and has none left to raise his kids. "ever wonder how you can see now" his parents are saying he's only alive because they settled down and had kids.
"and this landing ground is so y'know " it's time for the Apple to fall from the tree. Time for him to plan his own seed and grown his own family.
His waiting on his mum and dad, he's taking care of them, helping out around the house.
Swinging on a branch that'll last. His family tree, he hopes his family tree name and lineage will last forever.
Going up and falling back, he's tried climbing his family tree to see his roots and discover who he is via his grand parents, what kind of man should he be? What careers in his family did they choose? But he's falling back. Meaning he now needs to become a new man and starting his own family will teach him things he never knew about himself.
The all while he was sleeping part means it all happened over night, he became an adult so quickly and his pressured with so many responsibilities
Living now living last... He's the last born
Living now and living large
In conclusion, he's realized, it's time to leave his family BUT he's not yet ready to start his own, he's gonna live free for awhile. And like a tree slowly he shall grow and mature before starting his own. But first getting a good job and wife before doing so
