The protagonist goes to visit him but can't see himself in the old man's reflection, so he lays down on the lawn. The song talks about how everyone wants things but sometimes they need to wait and that the world we know is not the same as the one we lost. The protagonist is begging the old man to change his ways but knows that he probably won't.
