Composition[]

On the song's content, singer Glen Phillips said, "It's very much about how fleeting any kind of epiphany is. It's all about the moment passing very, very quickly and how there's a desire to hold onto it. That would be a constant, but it comes and it goes and it goes very quickly."[1]
