Lyrics
Well I think of my father
Reflecting on the speaker's father
How he changes and he alters
Noting the changes and alterations in the father
As the seasons grow colder
Observing how the father changes with the seasons
He’s looking older
Noticing the aging process in the father
These old walls are pale blue
Describing pale blue walls
With fragile pieces of you
Referring to fragile pieces associated with someone
And they will never be the same
Expressing that things will never be the same
But I will love you always
Declaring enduring love despite changes
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Repeating a melodic interjection
I grew tired I grew thin
Feeling exhaustion and becoming thinner
Weaving clothes I can’t fit in
Engaged in an unfulfilling task
Not a smile but a grin
Describing a facial expression - not a genuine smile
Hangs from my chin
Depicting a grin hanging from the speaker's chin
Cause now I’m scared, I don’t know
Expressing fear and uncertainty
How these seeds will ever grow
Uncertainty about the growth of seeds (metaphor)
And I don’t understand
Expressing confusion and lack of understanding
How they slipped from my hand
Regret over losing grasp of something important
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Repeating the melodic interjection
When words all but fail
When words fail, suggesting silent connection
We can just inhale
Proposing solace in shared breaths
Take this moment in
Encouraging appreciation of the present moment
We got right now
Repetition emphasizing the significance of the present
We got right now
-We got right now
-We got right now
-We got right now
-We got right now
-We got right now
-We got right now
-We got right now
Repeating the melodic interjection
When words all but fail

Repeating the melodic interjection and declaring eternal love
Always
