My dad loved this song, and I remember being very small & him explaining to me that it was about an autistic person. (I don't remember if that was his own interpretation or if it came from somewhere else.)

We didn't know, at the time, that either of us were autistic. Now I know, and he's not here to talk to about it, and I wish he was.

Finding out I am autistic hasn't been easy as I learned about it a few years ago. I'm just starting to pull myself out of a massive burnout that almost ended up taking my life somewhat inadvertently
