Honestly one of my top three SY songs. Just a beautiful build up to these vivid lyrics. I feel like it's about taking in the mundane moments in life and realizing how in time they will become your most cherished on memories. Watching your child play with a flashlight in the dark or pick strawberries are these vignettes of life you don't think much of until you realize how much you miss them.
