Weeds in the Wheat Lyrics

Cover art for Weeds in the Wheat lyrics by David Bazan

I think hes trying to come to terms with his alcoholism. He knows he wants to be better for his daughter but, isn't strong enough yet to stop drinking.

"And wondered if she’ll soon despise the smell Of the booze on my breath, like her mom Through a darkened mirror I have seen my own reflection And it makes me want to be a better man After another drink."

I think he has the desire to change but, his desire to drink is stronger. Sad, but so many times truly what people go through.
