Lyric discussion by Fein Mess 

Worlebird, you are right on track. I'm sure many people can relate to this song. I am 42 years young and my father was never really close to me , but we never argued nor did we ever really have differences. He was a good, hard working man who loved his children but for some reason I just never became close with him, perhaps because when I was young (20) I moved out west and started a family. We would correspond via phone and he became a very loving grandparent to my children. He wasn't much of a talker, but I always fet he truly respected me for who I was and I knew he was extremely proud of me. While I was away starting my family, my two brothers became very close to my father. I always resented them for that because for some ridiculous reason I always felt that they were becoming closer and tighter with our father and since I was away raising a family of my own, I just felt left out, like I was missing out on something. Anyway, to make a long story short, my dad passed away suddenly, when I was 30 years old, he was only 54. This song sums up everything I feel about my relationship with my Dad.

My relationship to my father is very much the same. We don't fight or have any big disagreements, but we aren't really close. Like your father, he is a good, hard working man. However, we don't really talk on any meaningful level. It's always about sports, how work is going, how family members are doing, etc. He never really shares his feelings.
