| I think this song is also about being a kid again. Having that imagination and maybe growing up and looking back on it... but I guess Rivers is the only one who can really say what his inspiration from this song is. | |

| This is an amazing song. I don't have the foggiest idea what it's about and I don't care. It does sort of sound like the kid in The Giver, but my guess is that's coincidence. | |

| possibly, I like this song because its got a great acoustic guitar in the background. I tried to play it but its hard as hell. I think that the song is about the loss of innocence, maybe drug use. A pretty little ditty. | |

| After the JEW concert on April 10th this was the first song they played & it was so cool to have everyone singing it, I was moved. All my emo kids... | |

| I also thought it might have something to do with The Giver, but after reading over the lyrics, it doesn't really seem to - anyway, kick ass song, though it does get old rather quickly. | |

| i dont reckon it has anything to do with the giver, however i think i do no wut it means. its about looking back and remembering childhood, 2 brothers talking about the good old days over some tea "just like grandma made when we couldnt find sleep" idk whether wepeels supposed to be actually making a building or its a metaphor, but either way, orgasmic song | |
