Lyric discussion by t1du 

There' a very cool Youtube video (watch?v=VylCETC8hKY) with Annabelle, I'm assuming this song is about her.

The first verse seems to be set in the present, he can walk through a barren field with her, believe every word she says since kids talk so much. Basic chorus, same idea

The second verse is when she's older and moving out, Ben's one of the "old folks" and Annabelle is the great bird. Not really sure about the secret part. Good song though.

nice interpretation. also, the video of Ben singing to his daughter is endearing, and definitely sheds light on what this song is about.

for those who haven't seen the official video, it's very beautiful and still: odetoboh.net/2010/06/03/for-annabelle-video/
