Daisy, give yourself away,
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display,
of power and surrender
Giving us today,
when she gives herself away
Rain, another rainy day,
It comes up from the ocean
To give herself away,
She comes down easy
Oh rich and debt, the same,
When she gives herself away,
Let it go,
Daisy let it go
Open up your fists
This fallen world,
Doesn't hold your interest,
Doesn't hold your soul,
Daisy let it go
Pain, give yourself a name,
Call yourself contrition,
Avarice or blame
Giving isn't easy,
And neither is the rain,
when she gives herself away
Daisy, why another day?
Why another sunrise?
Who's will take the blame,
For all redemptive motion?
And every rainy day,
when he gives himself away
Let it go,
Daisy let it go,
Open your fists
This fallen world,
Doesn't hold your interest,
Doesn't doesn't hold your soul,
Daisy let it go
Let it go (ooh...)
Let it go.
Let it go.
And you let it (Go, go!)
Let it go (Go! Let it go! Let it go! Go!)
(Let it go!)
(Let it go,)
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display,
of power and surrender
Giving us today,
when she gives herself away
Rain, another rainy day,
It comes up from the ocean
To give herself away,
She comes down easy
Oh rich and debt, the same,
When she gives herself away,
Let it go,
Daisy let it go
Open up your fists
This fallen world,
Doesn't hold your interest,
Doesn't hold your soul,
Daisy let it go
Pain, give yourself a name,
Call yourself contrition,
Avarice or blame
Giving isn't easy,
And neither is the rain,
when she gives herself away
Daisy, why another day?
Why another sunrise?
Who's will take the blame,
For all redemptive motion?
And every rainy day,
when he gives himself away
Let it go,
Daisy let it go,
Open your fists
This fallen world,
Doesn't hold your interest,
Doesn't doesn't hold your soul,
Daisy let it go
Let it go (ooh...)
Let it go.
Let it go.
And you let it (Go, go!)
Let it go (Go! Let it go! Let it go! Go!)
(Let it go!)
(Let it go,)

It seems like another beautiful Switchfoot reminder to stay strong, weather the storms of life, put your hope where it belongs, and dont hold on too tight to this fallen world in which we live.
Thats what it seemed like to me, anyway.
"This fallen world/ Doesn't hold your interest/ Doesn't hold your soul/ Daisy let it go."
sweet song.
I kinda think that they're giving the message to "let go" of this worldly place we live in and remind ourselves of our home in heaven. Thats my opinion on the matter :P

Obviously, he's not talking to a daisy for real, but taking it as an example to encourage people who need to let go, to pour oneself out like the Rain. Like Him, "when He gives Himself away."
I love the part where Jon hums nasally.. the song has such an amazing rainy-day vibe. And the climax where the whole band kicks in.
Jon Foreman: "Ah, daisy! sweet daisy... this one is my wife's favorite. I wrote it a while ago yet somehow it didn't make it onto the last record. I'm really thankful it didn't; I don't think we were ready for it then. Some songs age like wine and others age like milk finding a sour, over-thought, overproduced end. This one lasted for a long time and kept getting better. I feel really great about how it came out. In fact the end of the tune might be my favorite rock moment on the record, ironic because the beginning of the tune is anything but rock- so sparse and pretty. Because of the different tuning, it's a pain to get the guitar back to normal afterwards so we've never played this one live. I want to wait for just the right moment. I remember chad was hitting so hard on this one that he ended up breaking the kick pedal on the last hit of the song, he shouts out,"I think I broke the kick pedal!" We ended up cutting it out for the record because it seemed a little camp. Maybe we'll put it up online or something, because it needs to be heard. Classic Chad: the man with the iron foot strikes again! For me, this is an appropriate way to finish the record- A song about letting go."
When I got this cd I was so pumped, but I listened to it and hated it. I was so disappointed, but over time it grew on me. They're great.
