In the first verse, the protagonist describes a typical morning where his children are causing trouble on the way to school, and thinks things will be easier when the children grow up. Once the children have all gone off to college and gotten married, their parents realize that they have more time to themselves now that their children have accomplished their dreams, but their house and lives feel a lot emptier nonetheless.
The music video was directed by Deaton Flanigen and premiered in early 2003.
