Cover art for Even Now lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

Definitely sounds like it's about a baby, maybe a newborn. I think Katie's right - it sounds like it's about a new dad struggling to define his relationship with his child. Maybe the father is gone a lot, maybe on the road, and that's why it sounds as if there's distance, but he's saying that no matter how far apart they are, they're always together.
