I've just recently started listening to Starsailor, and this is one of their best songs, in my opinion. I think the lyrics explain how someone's girlfriend went through some tragic experience and he's trying to help her but doesn't know how... "How can I act When my heart's on the floor?" He wants wants to comfort her, but her depression is making him depressed and even more depressed that he can't help (what a vicious cycle) and "Daddy" I think maybe symbolic for something else (maybe god, maybe himself, maybe actually his father, or he just needed a word to go in there, who knows?) But whoever/whatever it is, he's asking for advice so he can help his girlfriend.
