Wow, you guys are still arguing over what the words are, huh?
I'm pretty sure it turned out it was "daddy's done" in the end.
As for the meaning, I think it's been mentioned a few times but it's about Noah comforting his brother about their father's death and telling him not to keep everything inside about it. There's a quote from him in a Pitchfork review about it:
"Pitchfork: What about those lyrics? What do those words mean to you?
Noah Lennox: The song is really an encouragement song for my brother who was having kind of a rough time at the time I was writing the song. That's what the song is about, for me at least."
