Giving Her Away
Embracing Tomorrow: A Father's Bittersweet Journey
Lyrics
Right now she doesn't know that this one is for her
At present, the person the song is addressed to is unaware that this song is dedicated to her.
Right now she doesn't know how to say three words
Currently, she doesn't know how to express three important words (possibly "I love you").
One day her empty room will tear me up inside
In the future, the speaker anticipates feeling emotional distress due to her absence reflected by her empty room.
One day she'll leave my wing
In the future, she will eventually depart from the speaker's guidance or protection.
She'll go and live her life
She will embark on her own journey to live her life independently.
But I don't wanna think about
The speaker is avoiding contemplating a particular event.
I don't wanna think about
The speaker prefers not to dwell on a specific subject.
I don't wanna think about that day
They are reluctant to think about a future moment.
I'll be giving her away
The speaker is apprehensive about the future event of 'giving her away.'
Right now she falls asleep so warm in my arms
At present, the person being spoken about is peacefully sleeping in the speaker's embrace.
Right now she holds my hand and I keep her safe from harm
Currently, the speaker is protecting her and offering comfort by holding her hand.
One day I'll miss the way she used to cling to me
Eventually, the speaker will reminisce about how she used to seek comfort from them.
She'll go and find a place with the one whose meant to be
In the future, she will find a place with someone she's meant to be with.
But I don't wanna think about
The speaker is actively avoiding contemplating a future occurrence.
I don't wanna think about
They are deliberately diverting their thoughts from a specific subject.
I don't wanna think about that day
They are hesitant to think about a particular day in the future.
I don't wanna think about
The speaker reiterates their reluctance to ponder on a future event.
No I don't wanna think about
They emphatically express their desire not to dwell on a future occasion.
I don't wanna think about that day
The speaker is resolute in avoiding thoughts about the impending day of 'giving her away.'
I'll be giving her away
They are apprehensive about the future moment when they'll be 'giving her away.'
