I think it is about a father who turns around one day and realizes his daughter has grown up without his knowing it. It takes reading something startling in her diary entry to remind him that she is no longer a child and that he doesnt really know her anymore after "all those pretty years gone by". He still thought of her in his mind as "age 8" and as his baby doll, but now he has to come to terms with the fact that she is an adult now and that they are relative strangers.
What i am wondering is who is Shannon and who is Savannah? I feel like Shannon is the daughter, who now comes home to visit (maybe from college) and he barely sees her.
Just some thoughts. I really like this song a lot, especially the line "She's my baby
She's my baby doll
Is she someone I don't know at all?"
