To Build A Home

At the beginning of the song he is describing this house, and it seems like its not that perfect. I think that the "house" represent their love. Their love and relationship is not perfect but, their bond is as strong as stone, and their love and relationship makes him feel happy and "at home". Next, he says, "Cause I built a home for you and for me". I feel like at this part he is trying to say that he has built the walls of love for him and for her. Then he says, "until it disappeared from you, from me". What he is trying to say here is that something unfortunate has happened and they will no longer be together anymore which leads to "And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust" which in my opinion means that it is time to leave the past and let his love for her turn to dust. It then says that out in the garden they planted a seed, i think by seed, they mean the seed of life, love and family. Then in the song it says that he climbs the tree to see the world, and to me that means that he is climbing out of his sadness and depression and looking out into his future, but then the "gusts came around to blow him down", which I think means that the memories of his beloved are coming back to him and trying to knock him down off the tree and back down to his sadness and depression, but instead he held on tight and held onto his future like she and him held onto their love. Then again, he says that he built a home a home for him and for her, until it disappeared from them, and then its says and now, it's time to leave and turn to dust, this all means what I said at the top.....in my opinion it means that he built his love, then something happened with their relationship, and now he leaves and waits for their love to turn to dust.
