To me this songs tells of the relationship between a father and a child. Although the father thinks the world of his child and is proud of everything she's become, he doesn't know how to express it. He's got a lot going on in his life and on his mind. It doesn't seem to bother her because she's used to it. Although they live so close to eachother, they're extremely distant. Years go by and he gets old and sick. The unexpected yet unavoidable happens and the father dies. She realizes how much he really did love him but how little they actually knew about eachother.
