The Fear Lyrics

Cover art for The Fear lyrics by Travis

I would have thought it was the fear of break-up, over something seemingly petty, yet unavoidable and difficult. Observe "I would like to see you in the morning". He doesn't want any kind of difficult situation in this partnership, so he's pleading for her to "make it easy for a little longer". All the trees forgot to wake, and the leaves were falling off. The trees are still there, but without their warm coating, those small things that make them whole. I think it's about breakup.
